Lee Stream School 24 June 2013

Still quite a bit of snow.  I was wondering how we would get rid of that blue gum.

I can only imagine how deep the snow would have been two days ago. I think up to the join in the tennis court wire, or thereabouts.

Stuart's Day

Duane and Goldie came up to help us get the sheep out of the gullies. It was hard work trying to walk through the snow when it’s above your knees and your thighs. That was not the worst thing. The worst thing was the snow down your gum boot because it was cold. Also I got a chest cold. When we got home dad passed out on the sofa. This morning the snow is down by half and there is a good thaw happening.

Lee Stream Snow 21 June 2013

 

Now, that is what I call a snowfall!!

 

 

 

This photo was kindly forwarded to me from Jenny Nichol.  It is a picture of her grandson at their farm in the Lee Stream area.  Impressive and soooo deep!!  Hang on to that little fella. 

A snowy Day at the Ruxtons at Lee Stream.

 

Wednesday after school it started snowing. In the morning it was over our fence it was up to my hip. It is really cold and you wouldn't want to be out their all day. When our dog goes out he gets stuck, it is so deep he sinks and gets covered in snow.

Taieri E Day

Last week we went to Elm Grove School for the Taieri E-day. The first activity we did was photo shoots. The teachers put us all in groups. They gave us a pice of paper that had photos on it and a camera. We could also used props if needed. After that we had interval. After intervil we learned how to blabberrize. Blabberize is a internet programme and you can make mouths move.

Once we had finished that we did a scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt was our favourite activity.

The next activity we did was suppose to be educational games but instead they were blood splattering gun games.  Eventually we got kicked of them and we had to go and do something more educational. 

Last but not least the teachers showed us some of the photos we took at the start of the day. Then it was time to go home. On the way home we got an ice -cream and some lollies.

The thing we taught the others how to do was on a programme called popplet.

Minibeasts at the Museum

Yesterday we went and investigated minibeasts at the Otago Museum. Our guide Charlie took us to Animal Attic and the insects section in one of the galleries where we worked in groups to answer questions that she posed to us, tried to reunite some lost minibeasts to their correct environment and looked at all the displays of amazing bugs! Do YOU know what has 8 legs and a stinger? Do YOU know what New Zealand's biggest beetle is? Ask one of us for the answer!
Then we visited Tropical World where we saw one of the world's biggest moths - the Atlas Moth, took a look at the huge tarantulas and became landing pads for many butterflies! What a great day!
