Gardening Club
On Friday I did gardening club. We walked there. The person who walks us is called Fiona. I only had 5 weeks. I don’t know who the other children names in the group. We are all from the Pohutukawa Team. On the last day we bought home beans for our class and a radish and two sunflowers. I like gardening club.

Car Mat
Last term Jake, Lucius, Finch, Suwat and Nevaeh were lying on the mat. We were learning about how many people could fit on the mat. Five people can fit on the mat. I liked doing this.
Last term we learnt how to write a Cinquain Poem. Here is the movie that we made for school assembly using photo booth. We made this movie up in our new classroom. These poems are about, Our Solar System and the Autumn Leaves and Trees at Grey Lynn School.
With the help of Graham Dodd, we have been learning how to sketch birds. We have been learning how to use a sketching pencil to make light and dark shading. Then we used water colours to bring our fantails to life. These are our fantails that we showcased in the Pohutukawa Team display, Our Place - Our Forest, at the Grey Lynn School Art Exhibition.
The Pohutukawa and the Totara Teams have been participating in the Westpac Chopper Challenge. We had to do fitness activities over a 6 week period. We gained sponsorship from friends and family. We raised over $8000 for the Westpac helicopter. Here we are practising for Challenge day.
