Harvest time!

Look at what we found sitting in our classroom when we came to school yesterday!

Dugan brought a giant pumpkin to show us. His brother-in-law grew it and it is going in a competition. We think it is magnificent!

 

 

Chickens growing up FAST!

One week after moving from school to Ms Joneses place the chicks are still eating and eating and growing and growing. .........

 Here they are at the food trough. As usual!

Chicken Run

At one month old the chicks have left school. We took them on the bus to Ms Joneses house.

They now live in a secure pen where they are safe night and day.

 

 

Here we are at Ms Joneses house, taking a breather before walking back to school.

Last day of school for the chickens

The chicks are almost a month old. The time has come for 13's Eleven to graduate from the Kowhai team. Tomorrow we are taking them to Ms Jones' place, where there is a proper chicken coop for them to live in. Every night we have had to bring them inside from their pen on Room 13 deck and they are getting too big to keep doing this (and Ms Jones has had enough of being mother hen).
Have a look and see how they are growing into young adult chickens.

This fat little chick is making rows of new feathers on its tummy where its baby fluff used to be. 

Here they are in their day pen on the balcony of room 13. They  eat and drink most of the day

Tahi's last day at school

Nobody touches the comb!

We haven't only been busy keeping chickens. Check out the wonderful patterns  we have made:

We have also been sketching the magnificent sunflowers in our Butterfly garden outside Room 13.

Can you see the face hiding in this bush?

                                Here are some photos taken by Room 13 children:
