Ben's Tiki

On Tuesday Ben brought a Tiki that has been drawn on Oamaru stone. the person that drew it is working with Ben's dad Geoff at the Otago early settlers museum which will open on December the 8th. It will then be called Toituu.
An excellent piece of art Ben!

Exposition: should dogs be banned from the beach?

An exposition is sort of like an argument. You need to have your own opinion about the topic. You then have to have a reason for the topic and why dogs should be banned.


Joey
Dogs shouldn't be banned from the beach because if the dogs dig a hole then you can fill it in. If they do anything else the owner can fix it.


Paige
Dogs should be aloud to go to beaches because dogs need exercise and it is fun for them because they get to go in the water and play in the sand dogs may poo but you can pick it up so I think dogs should be aloud.

Fairie-ality

In term 1 we started to make a flower press. We had to design our own. After that we found some flower petals and put them in the flower press. We waited until term 4 and cut a bit of cardboard out to stick our flower petals on. The last part was to stick our dress or outfit in the wardrobe. My favourite part was when we made the wardrobe.
