Room 6's blog has reached a new milestone - we have now exceeded 3000 hits from all around the world.  A lot of the hits are using the class website as a gateway to children's blogs.  Dylan has nearly reached his goal of 1000 hits on his personal learning blog.  Some children have really interesting hits from places like Cyprus, Croatia, and Russia.  It is fun to discover where these countries are!

Waikanae School Room 6 students were among the 87 students from the Te Aramoana syndicate who went to assist with planting over 1000 native plants at the Waimea Lagoon, at Waikanae Beach. 

It was a lovely day with the weather and everyone worked together to complete the task.  

The Waimea Lagoon Restoration group has been going for 15 years and this is the first time that Waikanae school has been involved.  The current work is being done in conjunction with the Kapiti Coast District Council. 

There were around 6 or 7 varieties of native NZ plants including toi-tois, swamp caprosma, flax  and mahoi. "Plants are the seed for [the children] for the future - it gives them the an appreciation for the hard work the KCDC does." said Dan Green from the KCDC.
