Arthur’s Pass Camp Day 1
We have had an amazing first day of camp. We arrived at Arthur’s Pass at 10.30 this morning. After we got our rooms sorted we headed out to do orienteering. We loved running around the village and finding all the markers! After lunch we headed up the Devils Pumchbowl walk. We had a great work but got extremely wet and cold. After our tramp we then went and did a river crossing. As the river was up quite high instead of crossing the whole way we crossed to halfway and the practised our retreating. Overall we have had a great day and can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in stall for us.
Aaron's ANZAC Poem
Anzac means australian
New zealand army corps.
Zz z z is the sound of sleeping soldiers.
Anzacs died in the thousands.
Countries fought bloody.
Dads and sons from the
Age of 18 went out to the army.
You can Celebrate at the dawn parade.

ANZAC Poem
All New Zealand soldiers fighting for Britain
Nice amazing soldiers fighting for us in world war 1
Zig zagging around the battlefield dodging lots of bullets
Anzac soldiers in their trenches
Countries around the huge battlefield
Digging trenches to save their lives
Australia and New Zealand arriving at the battlefield
Young men injured in the battlefield

Kohen and Clara's Honshu Butterfly Recount
On Tuesday, the 26th February, Ngahere and Whenua had special guests Murray Dawson, Hugh Gourlay, Robinne and Fran Cohen. We Learnt about weeds in New Zealand and completed puzzles about them.
After they introduced themselves they gave us some paper and pens so we could draw our own garden and we could draw what we wanted in our gardens. We had a couple of minutes left when we were finished drawing our gardens. We sat in a big circle and then some of us showed our garden drawings to everyone.
When that was done we went into our classroom and there were microscopes all over the classroom. We all lined up to look at each one. Inside the telescopes there were seeds from plants. After that it was time to take a break and get some fresh air.
Next we did a web of life in the hall to see how different things in nature are related. After that had happened the two classes went into the hall and we sat in a big circle and Robinne showed us all the weeds that Murray had found around the school.
After second break they showed us the butterflies and caterpillars in a container! We all then went to the back of the school to release the Honshu White Admiral Butterflies in the bush where there was Japanese Honeysuckle.
After lunch we all met in the hall again and Murray chose some people to use some phones so we could use the iNaturalist app. We went into groups of three and they gave us laminated pieces of paper that had plants on them that we had to find around the field. Once we found the plants we were looking for we took a picture of them and named the picture. After a long day it was time to say goodbye and go home.
We would like to thank the team from Maanaki Whenua and the Paroa Guardians for letting us be part of this biocontrol and can’t wait to see Honshu White Admiral Butterflies around our school.
