Harold's Visit (Life Education)

Harold the giraffe visited our school this week.  Sadly he left today, but we were lucky enough to have two visits with him and learnt about 'healthy food' and why it is important to put the right food into our bodies so that our brains work well.

Just like a car our body needs fuel for energy to run and be amazing Hinni learners.  We learnt about the food pyramid.

We were involved with sorting food out into the three levels of the food pyramid to help show our growing understanding of a balanced diet.

WORMS!  WORMS! WORMS!

Today we had a fabulous visitor ‘Adrienne’ from Enviro Schools.  Together with Room 6 we shared what we have learnt about WORMS and how fantastic they are!  We also learnt and shared about..

-          Composting

-          How worms put goodness into the garden/earth - Sustainability

-          We looked at different types of worm farms and how they work.

-          Shared lots of prior knowledge about what we had already learnt about worms

-          We learnt about what worms do and how they help break down waste and some fun facts…..

DID YOU KNOW ….

-          Tiger worms eat about half their body weight a day

-          One worm can reproduce 1000 babies a year

-          One egg has about 4/5 babies inside it.           Can you see the egg?

We also got to touch the worms and the castings!

What an awesome afternoon Room 5.  As part of our writing programme we took part in the 'Wacky Walking Afternoon'.  Activities included the water slide,  water guns,  pool activities, throw the sponge at a teacher and a few other fun activities.  It was lots of fun and today we wrote about this experience.  YAH for water and the fun experiences we had!!
