Ollie the Engineer!

Ollies feat of engineering this afternoon was to build a new clothesline. He had to figure out how to make it balance and stabilize it because of the wind. He was very proud of it! 

What an amazing job Ollie! I wonder what you will design and make next.



Marley's Monday Mahi (Gardening and Writing)

Marley has been busy planting seeds.  I like planting seeds too.  I like the way Marley and his whanau have used colours sticks to marl the rows where the seeds are.

I wonder what seeds Marley has sown?

I wonder who else has been gardening during our time at home.


I am so impressed with your writing again today Marley.  I love talking to you about your wonderful ideas and seeing you put these down on paper.  You drawings are always so detailed and thoughtful.  Thank you for sharing you work.

Marley's Weekend Adventures

Marley did some more mahi on the weekend and also went for a BIG walk with his whanau in his bubble.

Wow Marley, this really made me smile.  What wonderful work you have been doing.  Did you see a spider on a web outside to think of this or do you just like spiders?

I love how you have made the web and really put the spider on top.

Ka pai!

Making astronaut food.








We made chocolate pudding.

We ate our chocolate pudding like astronauts eat their food in space!

We put the pudding into little plastic bags.

We put it in the fridge to set.

We cut a little hole and we lay down and sucked the pudding out of the bag!

Astronaut food is DELICIOUS!
