| SUPER SHARP Khalia. She is a wonderful responsible student both in the classroom and playground. Yay! We love SHARP students. |
Super SHARP work by Cam - Cam got a principal's award and a SHARP certificate from Miss Burt for his fantastic reading/research on the Tibetan hawk and other hawks. He shared his information with the class.
Enjoy these photos of some of Room 7 children getting sunflower heads to harvest them. This is also part of our junior environment group.
We shared the sunflower heads with several classes, and some children took a head home to dry out.
Room 7 have 2 sunflower heads hanging upside down in our class in organic breathable bags.
Once they are dry - we will take the seeds out - we are going to save the seeds to sell.
The money will go towards buying more plant seeds to plant.
