LIFE ON ICE

Today we were lucky enough to have the "Life on Ice" interactive roadshow come to our school. We learnt so much about life in Antarctica....

Did you know Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest place in the world?

We broke the record and managed to fit 74 children onto a life-size model of an elephant seal!

TEAPOT VALLEY CAMP

5 September 2007

Dear Rebekah,
Thank you for driving me to camp. It was kind of you to take me to camp! My favourite part of camp was doing the maze because I liked getting trapped. I also liked eating lunch because it was yummy. It was fun and I hope we can do it again.
From Tracey

Dear David,
Thank you so much for coming on camp with us. I had a great time and loved those fun activities we did. My favourite thing was the jeep ride because I got to have 3 turns. I felt very happy. I also liked the maze because we went in a circle. I had a great day. It was a fine sunny day and I can’t wait until next year.

Dear Peter,
Thank you so much for staying with us at camp. It was awesome having you there. My favourite activity was archery because I study bows. My second favourite was the Burma Trail because it was fun. I hope I can come next year. I like it.
