Project Island Song - Floating Classroom

Last week some of us were lucky enough to go to Project Island Song's Floating Classroom.  We went out on one of the Explore boats, to Urupukapuka Island.  We learnt all about what Project Island Song is doing to save the birds and bring back the bird song to the islands.

We planted some trees and we made some traps to catch the pests that harm the birds.

We had such an awesome day! Thanks to all the people involved in Project Island Song and to our amazing parent helpers for making it a success.

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

Paihia School went to the Waitangi Treaty Grounds to do some fun activities and to learn about Matariki. We got to make kites with Rahu (she is one of the workers)  out of Nikau fronds.

We also played some games - that were supposed to help you get better at listening and moving quietly. It was a hard game because you were blindfolded so couldn't see your opponent and you had to try and tag them by listening to them rattle their shell, but they were also trying to tag you.

We also got to plant some trees in the bush.

It was an awesome day!
