Feel soft like a fluffy pillow
Light when you pick them
Orange, red and green too
Water them to make them sprout
Everyday they will sprout
Rainbow colours for you and me
Smell like my Mum's perfume.

Spring has arrived

In Ruma Tui we began to look at spring at the end of term 3. We talked about what changes in the environment when the season changes from winter to spring.

We had some special visitors to school.

All the children spent time planting some seeds and watching them grow.
