Week 3 Term 2 2015

This week the weather was kind and we got to do our Autumn Walk around our beautiful wetlands.It gives our students the opportunity to visit a very special part of Te Aroha that is right on our doorstep and appreciate the changes that the change of seasons brings.
We got to run through leaves,see all the wildlife and get some great photos, like this one of us all up on the rail bridge walkway!

Room 8 have been looking at different parts of the Wetlands and we co-constructed a piece about Willow Trees which we are very proud of...

The Willow Tree by Room 8  

The willow tree, its bendy branches dangling down, leaves like fingers, trying to tickle the people below.
Its long slim branches, hanging like a waterfall, soaking us with leaves.
The tiny green leaves gripping tightly in the autumn breeze, and clinging desperately in the wild winter winds.
The roots are like wavy snakes emerging from the dirt tracks, waiting to trip and grab us.

After we are gone, the tree is still again, resting in its wetland home…

We also took some photos to remind us of this wonderful place.We hope you like them.




This is Mrs Finucane's favourite photo...
