Swimming Lessons

 On Tuesday we went on a bus to Sykes Road swimming pools. We went there so we can learn how to swim and be a good swimmer. We learned how to rescue people and how would it feel wearing a safety life jacket. We had to get into pairs. One person had a noodle and the other person had to go in the water and put their hands up like they were in trouble. The people who had the noodle had to throw it to their partner and their partner had to catch it.  Then we had to pull, pull, pull the person to safety.

Native Tree Trail

After lunch we walked along the native tree trail. We looked at many fascinating and interesting native trees such as the Confusing Cousins called Kanuka and Manuka.  Kanuka is kind and soft to touch and Manuka  is mean and prickly to touch.  The Kiekie is a plant Maori used for weaving. It likes to be in a moist, shady place. Rats and birds eat its fruit. The Putaputaweta tree is called that because wetas live in holes in its bark. The Tarata tree used to be mixed with puha to make a type of chewing gum and is sometimes called Lemonwood because its leaves smell like citrus. The Kauri tree can grow 50 metres high. It has female cones which are round and male cones which are long.

We had a busy, interesting and tiring day. We all learnt lots about how nature recycles living things using the F.B.I.
