Otago Museum Butterfly House
Today we were so lucky to visit the amazing Butterfly house at the Otago Museum. We watched Meila turn from an egg to a caterpillar, to a chrysalis to a beautiful butterfly.

Agate
In the weekend Tom went with his family on a Rock and Mineral Club outing hunting for Agate at Nimmo Swamp. Tom brought some of the beautiful pieces of Agate they found too school to share with the children. We looked at the Agate, we touched it and we talked about what it reminded us of. We collected up all our descriptive language and used it to write a poem about our favourite piece of Agate.
Here is our poem.
Agate
Coloured like coca-cola.
Shiny and sparkly.
Curved like a skateboard ramp.
Pointy like a mountain.
Sprinkled with flour.
By Room 8
The children have written their own poems about their favourite piece of Agate, come in and check them out.
