Did you know that spiders have 8 legs and 8 eyes?
Some spiders are pests as they are poisonous.
BUT many people like them because they are a natural way to control other pests.
Robert Rakete was our Duffy role model today.
He is a dad and knows how important it is to read.
We saw his favourite book which he got as a boy.
During his career he has worked on radio and has been a Wiggle.

Now we all have two new books to read at home.

Auckland had a lot of rain over the weekend.
The water reservoirs are full and have lots of mud in them.
So that we don't have to boil our water later we are being asked to conserve water for a few weeks.
We came up with these ideas. Can you think of any other ways to conserve water?
Let's all help!
We sorted and looked at rubbish which can be put in your recycling bin, the one with the blue lid.
Have a look for the triangle on plastics. Also paper, cardboard, boxes, along with tins, cans and glass jars.
Try to look after your community.
We have been investigating flies this week as part of our pest study.

TEAM means Together Everyone Achieves More.
It is important that we cooperate to get the task completed.
