Swimming, Chickens and Timers

Today is the last day of swimming. It has been incredible to see the development over the last two weeks and the life guards have all commented on how well behaved Birchwood students are. Ka pai Kowhai kids!

 We also had some special visitors in the classroom courtesy of Evelyn and Shane. It was very exciting to have chickens roaming about, particularly when one of the chickens pooped on the carpet. Needless to say Mr Liang was not as excited.

We have begun our unit in Time and this Thursday we investigated how long a minute actually is. The children were required to make a minute timer which proved to much harder than it sounds.
