Run, Jump, Throw

We are lucky enough to take part in a 6 week Run, Jump, Throw programme that Southland Sport are running.  We have Lorne come up every Thursday and teach us some skills for 45 minutes.  These are some of the activities we did last week.

Hiwi the kiwi show

Lucky Te Anau School!  We had the Minstrel and Mrs Minstrel visit us yesterday.
We sang songs and talked about fishing for the future, and being safe on the water.

The Minstrel brought along a fishing rod with flashing lights!

Do you know why you need to take a wet towel with you when you go fishing?
Ask a Room 3 person to explain.

Riley is doing careful measuring to see if the snapper is big enough. 
Do you know how to measure a fish accurately?  Room 3 can tell you.

AND ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET IN A BOAT ON THE WATER!

Kids Restore the Kepler - Fantails

This term we are looking at Native Birds.  We started this week with the Fantail.

These birds are known for their friendly 'cheet cheet' call and energetic flying antics.  The fantail is easily recognized by its fan-shaped tail.  Their main prey are moths, flies, spiders, wasps and beetles, although they sometimes also eat fruit.

We made our own fantail sitting in a tree with their eggs in a nest.
