Our Orchard

This afternoon we worked in our orchard. We picked a lot of feijoas and some of us are looking forward to eating them. Did you know you shouldn't pick feijoas off the tree? When the feijoas are ripe they fall to the ground and then you know they are ready to eat. We pulled out some stakes  which supported the trees but are no longer needed.  We also picked up the cuttings from the fruit trees which have been pruned. We have quite a bit more work to do yet and will keep you updated.

    How cool to see you in the orchard. Yesterday, Whakamanawa went down there to see how things are going in these cooler months. We then used some of our beautiful worm wee to feed the feijoa plants. One day they are going to be gigantic and give us some sweet fruity, juicy treats.

Letter of the Week

This year we are doing phonics in our homerooms. Kiwi class looks at two letters and their matching sounds every week. Weka and Pukeko classes work together on one letter of the week. Each week we have a letter of the week wall where we display all the things we can find that begin with our letter of the week. Last week our letter was H and we had some fun having Harlin Haines wearing a hat on our h wall. Too cute not to share! This week our letter is J so get your thinking caps on Weka and Pukeko classes, what words do you know that start with J?
