Silk Worms

Tha past few weeks the children have been telling me all about the silk worms and how they look after them

This is not something we do in NZ but we do have many beautiful Monarch butterflies...

A New Zealand Myth

Well the year is going by quickly, we have talked about the Fish of Maui in some classes. And will continue to do so in the following classes.. There are many myths and legends to share.
