The trip to the zoo

On Friday 27th July room 18 went to the zoo to find out more about wetas so we can design our own wetas houses so there are are no pest.We had to get split into 5 groups so that it would be easier for miss Zeier and the parents that volunted to come on the trip. We had Dr Victoria-Metcal, Dr Sarah-Morgan,Josh and Mark from Fisher&Paykel.Dr Victoria-Metcal flew into Auckland from Wellington to visit us and Aorere College.First we went to go and have a look at the animals but we only had half and hour and went back to another part of the zoo where a man from the zoo was talking a little bit more about wetas. After he talked about the wetas we went outside and we had the DNA trackers and put them outside and then it was Aorere collages turn to do them. After that we got 1 hour to have a look around the zoo and have a look at the animals my favourite was the tigers.When our group finished looking at the animals we went to the park and we seen miss Maika's group so we all went to the park and played tag.We had a great time thanking the zoo for letting us in to the zoo for free and the parents.

Cooking & Gardening

                       

At Dawson Primary School we do cooking and gardening. In cooking they teach us how to keep safe with knifes and other cooking tools. In gardening they teach us how to plant seeds in the right places and teach us how to use gardening tools to.

Our first lesson in cooking was courgette muffins our second one was spinach spring rolls and our last lesson was a apple crumble.Our cooking chef was Barry he is a chef and he owns a restaurants and there was only one gardener so it was a bit hard for her to handle a lot of us.

Last but not at lease we appreciate for the cooking and gardening people to teaching us how to cook and garden with use.

THANK-YOU SO MUCH
