KCC Wharf

There has been a big interest in fishing rods lately and lots of Phoenix house children have been making their own rods..today we made some fish to catch from the playground wharf, what a fun Friday game..the children absolutely loved it and used the resource for hours catching hundreds of fish, perhaps we could extend this interest and get a fisherman to bring in some real fish to show us, fillet and maybe even eat :) 

Spencer - "I haven't caught anything, just had a few bites and lost my bait" 

Adam - "Bex is cutting up some kahawai, I'm gonna go get some!" 

Cannon - "look I caught a whale and a pufferfish, pufferfish are yellow!" 

Brrrrrrrrr winters here!!

Look at all of the ice and frost on our playground...it's definitely scarf, hat and gloves season!!

Meet Master Splinter

This week we have had a new addition to the Phoenix House family....our new class pet rat!! He is so cute, fluffy and friendly. He needs cuddles everyday and lucky we have lots of little friends to show him lots of LOVE! 

He is brown and white with brown eyes and a cute little pink button nose. He loves to be held and loves pats from the Phoenix house children. He needs rat food and water and he cleans himself everyday.

We have named him Master Splinter after the Master rat in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles :)...We love our new class pet

Madison - "I love him!"

Maia - "He is quite little"

Kyla - "Hes got little ears and  a long tail and he is so fluffy!" 

Evan - "I love his name!"

Nathan J - "I like his cage because the rat is in there"

Butterfly number two

This was our beautiful second butterfly to emerge from its cocoon...look at the amazing markings and colours on the wings!! We are still waiting on so many more to hatch, its like having our very own butterfly farm. Come and visit them to check them out anytime, they are in our science corner <3
