Great White Butterfly Hunt
This week we went on our first Great White Butterfly hunt. We 'crept' around the playground searching for this nasty butterfly. We thought we might of had some success after Ollie spotted a white butterfly. Neroli dived into action to successfully capture it!
Upon our inspection we concluded that it was actually a female 'Small White Butterfly'. This butterfly is not quite so dangerous to our environment but still best out of our vegetable gardens.

Our tricky words will be why/want.
During maths we will be investigating time.
Caroline will be teaching in Renwick 3 on Thursday and Friday as I have assessment data to collect and professional development.
On Friday we are having a 'Dress Up' day to support Kidzcan. This is a worthwhile cause our Student Council are supporting. Monies raised will go towards providing shoes, raincoats etc to children in need within N.Z. Children are asked to make a gold coin donation.
Also on Friday there will a pizza lunch available from Lambrettas. The cost is $2.50 for a small pizza or $5.00 for a large. Orders will be taken outside the library before school Monday until Thursday.
All funds will go towards a senior school camp.
Have a happy and safe week!
