Dissecting a blackbird as scientist's do in investigating.

 Thank you Ms Arkless for showing us how scientists dissect birds to find out about them.

 Finn found this blackbird in the school car park and gave it to us to find out what a bird's heart, lungs and intestines looks like. Very interesting.

Thanking Mr Andrew

Ruma iwa tamariki brought a long a plate of kai to thank Mr Andrew for umpiring our rippa rugby game. We had a grand time and the children all had excellent manners while enjoying the party. They each made a card for Mr Andrew and he was delighted that he could keep the cards, he thought Mr Rush would be jealous!
Thank you to the children and parents who gave such lovely kai.

Ripping into rugby while the afternoon sun shines.
