How do plants grow?

Hello bloggers,

This term we have been learning about plants and what they need to be able to grow and thrive. We learned that they need soil, water, air, sunlight and space. We are conducting a special science experiment to see what happens if we withhold some of these things when growing plants from seeds. 

Check out the pieces of writing below that explain how we set up our experiment and what our predictions are.


And here are some pictures too! Stay tuned to see what happens to our plants.

Greedy Cat's Door

Hi again! šŸ˜€ 

We love Greedy Cat here in Arapere Class. Earlier in the year, we read Greedy Cat's Door and had a go at writing a retell of the story. We also made some Greedy Cats of our own using a collaging technique.

Take a look at our work.

Arapere Class at the All Blacks Experience

Kia ora bloggers!

Last term we were lucky enough to visit the All Blacks Experience. We had a great time learning about some of the All Black's history as well as how they prepare themselves for games. 

Our favourite part was when we got to have a go at some of the skills the All Blacks work hard to perfect such as passing, kicking, and line-outs. If you haven't already been we'd definitely recommend it.
