Father's Day Gift

On the 26th of August Diane came to school to make a Father's Day gift with us. We decorated mugs by writing a message on one side and a picture in the other side. First we had to write and draw our design on a scrap piece of paper. When a teacher checked our idea we got a coloured Sharpie and put our design on the mug, it was really hard because you wanted to make it perfect. After that Diane put our mugs in a really hot oven to soften the glaze. When Diane had done that she gave us a tag and we wrote a message to our Dad or Grandad or Uncle.

The Library Visit

On Wednesday after Hui Ako we went to the Mosgiel Library. Diane read us a story called 'The Three Little Pigs'.We also played in the park.
We got mask books from the library and most of the kids issued books out.

Albatross Colony Visit

On September the 1st Lee Stream School went to the Albatross Colony. First we met in the car park. We went in, we split into two groups. One group headed to the Disappearing Gun and the other group went to the observation room to look at the albatross. 

From the room where the Disappearing Gun was you could see for miles, way up the coast. We could see two albatrosses near the lighthouse. Up in the observatory room we learnt how the albatross can die and we learnt how the rangers look after them. They wear different coloured bands on their feet which tell us what number they are and how old they are. The colour of the bill of an albatross tells us if they are a baby or an adult. A baby bill is grey and an adult is pink. 

Here is a website for watching  the albatross
