We are getting ready to make our large art sculptures out of all the bottle tops that have been collected. Some of us are busy being creative at Discovery Time making different animals.

Cultural Week Performances
We were very lucky to have special performances as part of Cultural Week and one of our Piwakawaka students was a wee star! Reina and her mum and sister were part of the Japanese group who performed a special dance for us. We really enjoyed joining in with them and learning a little bit about the Japanese culture.
Go Reina! We were so proud of you!
We also had a South Korea Drumming Group who did an amazing performance. We enjoyed watching how they worked together to make amazing sounds.
Gardening Discovery
We are working hard to remove the weeds in the butterfly garden. We use our time during Discovery Time to help the butterflies. We learnt lots about working together, persevering, using our manners, and sharing the tools. A great start was made on the weed issue. You should have seen the size of some of the roots we were trying to pull out! It was a little bit like the Enormous Turnip story when we all tried to work together to pull it out.
Heather and Tom were our Discovery Time Stars this week for showing creativity in their activities.

The Endeavour
Today's challenge was to make The Endeavour sailing ship. We looked carefully at a picture of the ship Captain Cook sailed to New Zealand. We compared this to the waka pictures we looked at earlier on in the week. These ships had more sails and were larger. We played Captain's Coming and pretended to wash the decks, climb the rigging and salute the Captain.
We asked some great questions about where the sailers would have slept and what they would have eaten on the ship on its big voyage from England.
We are looking forward to finding out more tomorrow at The Canterbury Museum and Riccarton House.
We just love these very focused learners photographs working hard on making their ships and sails.
