Vegetable Garden

            On Monday James, Franklin and Jaycee planted some more plants in the vege garden. We planted garlic, leeks and a little cabbage 

            So now we hope they will grow to be big strong plants like the others in the vegetable garden.

                                                             Rock Path

We are making a rock path and we are working on it now. We are making great progress with the rock path. We are doing this so that we can walk around our vege gardens in any weather. 

Pinata

We are progressing well on our pinata. It is going to plan so far. Everyone is working well together this has made the build easy fast and fun. Now all we need is some toilet rolls ( empty)  to use as our legs. We have decorated it. We are proud of our team work to make our pinata this has made the build so fun to do. It  look like a horse. It was meant to look like a dragon. We decided to make a pinata for the technology challenge  First we looked on the internet to see some designs. Next we took a vote to choose what our pinata will be.   
(Nikki) I liked the colour                                                                    

(Travis) I like the way we plan and the way we work together
(Jaycee) I like the way our pinata came out and how we work together as a team.

                                                                   Marking the Field

 On Friday Travis, Zahn, Huntah  and Jaycee started to mark the Field with 4 cans of tail paint. We started on the east side of marking the out line(with red tail paint). Then we started the goalie box (with blue tail paint). It is not the world's best goalie box but it will do for now. Then we started the other outline on the other side. Travis, Zahn, Huntah and I walked over to the other side of the field to mark the other goalie box because we had run out of red tail. So we got part of the outline done but we got both of the goalie boxes done.

2013 14/6 Travis plase

We planted a Kowhai tree for Lamb and Calf Day. We will be judged to see whose grows the tallest. This is a picture of our tree. To make it grow taller we will feed it water and compost.I hope grows really tall.

We have just ordered some new sports gear. We have ordered some gear for our new table tennis table. And we have bought a 5 pack of balls e.g net balls rugby ball e.t.c. We have also started the cross country training.  Tom  

Tennis

We have just started tennis this year. It is taught by Kurt McNamara. We have had to put up the net.  We learn lots like having our racket facing the wall. It's so much fun. We have had to put up the net.  

Apilympics

We have nearly finished the Apilympics we just have to do the Netby.
Each whanau group has competed in each activity they have competed in the following list.
Egg and spoon hurdles every one was cheering on all the teams they where not being to distracting either.
We also did 3 legged races and skipping which Lauren did exceptionally well in, she won against 2 seniors and 3 juniors. We did spring board high jump where we had a 1st equal with Tom and Huntah. We also organized a Nerf target which Travis won by far with 20 points! We just have 1 more activity and then we will find out who is the sportiest whanau group!
