During our Garden to Table session with Ms. Best today, the Huarakau group was in the garden. We were learning about the different kinds of ladybirds, their life cycle, and the important role they play in our gardens.
We learned that the harlequin ladybird is an introduced species and is considered a pest.
With some great investigating skills, the group was able to find three examples of the four different stages of a ladybird's life cycle.
This is the harlequin ladybird! The Room 24 students have been very fortunate to work with Sara Hughes over the past two weeks on the Pattern Project. They have been looking at and combining different patterns from the many cultures represented across our school.
Today, the students got creative with chalk.
If any family members have the time, and would like to help with some of the painting on the courts, please get in touch.
Today Room 24 had their first Garden to Table session for the term.
Half the class was out harvesting food, potting seedlings, watering plants, collecting seeds, and checking out some interesting insects, while the rest of the class was preparing some super delicious food in the kitchen.
Do you know what this insect is? It isn't a bee!
