Re-creating our Butterfly Garden.

At Morningside School we have a butterfly garden. A group of Braggers want to re-create the butterfly garden. Our existing  butterfly garden does not have butterflies in it. It only has crowded sad looking swan plants and it's not very exciting. So we are going to re-create our butterfly garden, by making a garden with butterfly attrcting plants in it.

Classroom Design


We are in the classroom action group and we are making a better classroom for Team Pukeko.  We are  researching classroom designs to get ideas. Some of our ideas for a good classroom are ipad and computer station, treat area, to have a little pet, more lilly pads or bean bags or shaped chairs and more IWBS. Tomorrow we are drawing plans .
