Garden to Table Project
This year we have increased the size of
our vegetable garden. We also have many more
dedicated volunteers. This increase has
allowed us to offer this amazing experience
to more of our students. The students
continue to enjoy planting, harvesting,
cooking and eating many of the fruits and
vegetables we grow in our gardens. They are
becoming experts at indentifying different
types of vegetables which they may not have
been exposed to at home and really
appreciate the opportunity to try something
new. Children willingly give up their
lunchtime to sow seeds, thin out seedlings,
weed the vegetable garden or just wander
through to see what is growing. |

Swimming
Reflections:
"I love swimming and I
wish that it was carrying on because it was
so much fun. I did not know what freestyle
was and I didn't know how to do it, but I
learnt it."
by Taylor
"I'm so glad that we have
swimming lessons and I know how to swim
freestyle. I also know how to dive under the
water. I really miss swimming because it's
over now. I wish we had stayed there the
whole day."
by Emeline
"It was so sad because we
stopped swimming lessons. It was so cool
when we were going to the swimming pools to
learn how to swim. I learnt how to swim
freestyle."
by Haze
"I love swimming, we were
good at swimming. I like how they showed us
how to kick our legs."
by Berlinda
Inquiry Learning
In Term 2 East Tamaki students studied
natural disasters. They researched and
learnt all about earthquakes, volcanoes,
tornadoes and tsunamis. All classes worked
very hard and produced fantastic displays
showing written facts, pictures and models.
