Natureland won the vote!!!

Things we need to think about to organise our trip:
Fundraise money for the trip (we could sell feijoas, apple juice) How much does it cost to go?
How do we get there? How do we choose who goes (parents)?
Figure out what we are going to find information about. Research what programmes and animals Natureland has that we could look into. Create a voting system on the blog once we have researched the possibilities.
What we need to take with us when we go?

Some children didn't vote for Natureland so they are suggesting we could watch a movie a school. Maybe we could watch a movie about the animal we look into at Natureland.
SO MANY THINGS TO GET READY!

Hand art

In room 2 we did very cool 3d hand art. We traced around our left hand then we put lines over the top to show contours.

Class Reward Voting

Today the children discussed what they were going to do for their class reward that they earned last term. The class has to achieve 50 marbles that are given out for various tasks (mainly for them working together really well). We discussed what we could do if there were no limits to our experience and here are their responses:
Hunting and Fishing Week/Movies at Disneyland/Go to the moon/Travel the whole world/Paintball fight/Buy a house and private jet/Go to Disneyland forever/Play Station party where you get to be part of the game/Laser tag on Pluto/Travel to the sun/Everyone gets a pet.
These next ones are going to be the options the kids can vote on. They should be able to leave a comment as an anonymous user with their initials at the end of the comment to show what they are voting for:
Trip to Natureland to study an animal
Forest walk to study insects
Pyjama/Dress up party
Game of Capture the Flag
Shared lunch to see everyone's cooking talents
Go to the movies (this would include fundraising for the event and complete organisation by the children, which means it may not happen for a while)
Get voting!!

Egg-cellent eggs by Room 2.

Can you recognise any of the possible artists?
