The Surf comp!

In the weekend I went to a surf comp and their was pros there and long boarders. Xaver jacob and I went looking for stuff on the beach and I found a fin on the rocks. Then we found a tennis ball but then we went for a surf. After we had a surf we went looking for mussels off the point.
it was a fun day at the beach.



Estuaries

An estuary is the end of a river where it meets the sea. Estuaries have many different types of wildlife. Estuaries will help us provide fish for the future. Estuaries are very high in biodiversity which helps all types of fish breed which,helps commercial fishing at the present and the time to come.

On Tuesday 9th March , Jaedon's sister brought her cute little rabbit to room 13. When everyone sat down in a circle,she opened a tiny cage with little,ripped newspaper in it.Jaedon told us that his name was Jay-jay. First he came to Ruarri so we patted Jay-jay's fluffy back and near the neck . Then ,when Jaedon's sister tried to pick him up , he bounced from her sholder and onto the floor and exhilarated to a big group of girls. Mr Hunter asked her what Jay-jay liked to eat so she told him that he liked to eat cucumbers with salt. Finally when she was leaving we gave one last pat said goodbye to the cool rabbit.

Firstly Mr Hunter found a bath and brought it to school. Secondly Sue's husband built a frame for it. Then we had to clean it Manawa , Jaedon and Ruarri poured fresh water in the bath. Next we studied and observed the old worm farm and some dead flies on the windowsill. After that we discussed problems between Pro's and Con's, some people might tip it over if there was no frame. Finally we needed a lid and a lock to keep it from being vandalized. Today we will deign the front of our worm farm, its going to be awesome everyone is going to be apart of it, it is going to be amazing. Later on we transferred the worms from room 14 to the bath. Then we got mesh or chicken wire as some might call it because we don't want the worms to get out of the bath.We had to add gravel and rocks to it to make it not so easy to get out but they can't any way. Then we added soil. Some people had to save the worms it was very gross. Roy had to add a lid to it, it looks really awesome but gross. Luke and Tyrone got some apple cores and a lot of things. Jack gave the food to the worms but before that jack got in the bath and they love it. To conclude the worms will give us juice disposal and I feel great because the worms are out side in there normal heritage they are ready to rock and roll and give us juice.

Some people from room 13 got chosen to paint a front cover for the St Clair school worm farm. It has apple cores, banana skins and worms are on it. This cover is going to go on the front bit on the worm farm. by D'Arcy

St Clair worm farm


firstly Mr H found a bath on Richardson street with a free sign on it and brought it to school. Secondly Sue's husband built a frame. Then we cleaned out the bath.
Next we observed the old worm farm it smelt like a corpse flower, then we saw the window sill it had 100's of dead flies on it it looked like a fallen army. We lifted the lid and there was maggot eggs under the lid ewww! Then flies shot out like a swarm of bees.
After we discussed the pros and cons of the two worm farms. we talked about teenagers destroying it and birds eating the worms in the end we decided we needed a lid and a lock. We found out that we are not to feed them citrus.
The next day we viewed a school called Melville intermediate's blog they also had a worm farm!
