Teddy Bear Project

We have been partnered with a school in Taiwan for iEarn's Teddy Bear project. Here is Ritchie, the All Black teddy bear before we sent him off to Taiwan. Last week the teddy bear arrived in Taiwan and their class are looking forward to starting the teddy bear diary. Hopefully we receive our bear soon.

The bee swarm

Excitement today as a huge swarm of bees entered the playground. They started to nest in our hedge, so the exterminators had to come in.
