Olympian Vist

Brightwater School were very lucky to have a visit from Mike Dawson, the New Zealand Olympic Ambassador. He showed us the gear he wears to compete in the kayak slalom. Drew  got to put the gear on. He wears a skirt to stop the water getting in the kayak. He wears a lifejacket. He wears a t shirt with his number on. Finally he wears a helmet to protect his head. He showed us videos of the food hall in Rio that can feed 5000 people at a time. 

Lewie's Bear Skin

This morning Lewie brought his bear skin to school for us to see. His Grandad  brought it back with him from Canada. It felt very fluffy and soft. The teeth were really sharp.

We Are Winners

We sent our photo to the  new World Little Garden competition last week.
Today when we went to the website our photo was at the top of Snap To Win Page. We were very excited.

Little Garden

 This morning we planted all our Little Garden seedlings.


We had to put 50 mls of water on the soil block. It magically got bigger and bigger. Then we spooned the damp soil into the biodegradable pots leaving 1 cm at the top. We then put in the seed mat. Covered it with soil. Put the label on and placed the pot in the right hole in the box. We have 23 different seedlings.
