Farewell Miss Presland, Ms Best and Whaea Tori

Today at assembly we said a very special farewell to Miss Presland, Ms Best and Whaea Tori.  We sure will miss them!  Can you guess how many roses Whaea Tori has in her vase?  21! One rose for each year she has been teaching at Owairaka School!!!

Hello little chick!

Mrs Johns took us to the Fale and we met the little chick that is living with Mrs Johns in the cottage.  We talked about what a little chick needs to be happy and healthy.  We were able to pat the chick (if we wanted to). It felt so soft!

The little chick followed the mother chicken.

 We learned that the chick needs food to eat and water to drink.

We were all able to gently pat the chick if we wanted to.

Isla. Havana, Jack and Emme patted the chick and thought it felt very soft.

Shahid and Richard told us all about the life cycle of a chick.  They showed us a picture from their learning journal.  Thank you Mrs Johns, Shahid and Richard for bringing the chick to visit us today.
