So far this term interest has dropped in recycling of our toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and boxes. Kiwi Class have a terraycycling box in their classroom and anyone can drop things off. Things that can be recycled are toothbrushes, toothpaste and boxes from the toothpaste. We send them away and the rubbish is recycled into cool new things like pencil cases, bags and other cool stuff. Please if you are getting new toothpastes or have finished your mouthwash bring the empty containers into Kiwi Class and we will send them away.
Here is what we have collected so far.
This is what our collection box looks like, please bring your oral health recycling to Kiwi Class and put in in our box.
Thank you for taking the time to read our blog and we look forward to lots of people bringing things to recycle.
Kiwi class love to write and read. We like to learn lots of things. and we also love playing outside and playing sport and making stuff. Also we are all good friends and we respect property and we also take care of people. That is what kiwi class class sometimes do we are a bit silly, But we are mainly always good. We are always good at making stuff.
Today we took our uv measuring beads back outside. This time we were wanting to see what could make a difference when we are out in the sunshine. We decided to put some sun cream on our beads to see if anything would happen.
Mrs Brattle put the sun cream on the beads but it was very hard to keep it on because the beads got really slippery. The sun cream did make a difference to the colour of the beads, so we knew the sun cream was working. The colours were not as bright with the sun cream on, as the beads with none on.
Next we thought we would see what it was like under a hat. This was really hard to do because as soon as we moved the hat the uv rays got on the beads and made them change colour. We had to be really quick to get this photo.
We also wondered if Sunglasses would protect the beads from the uv Rays. You can see from our photo that they do!!
So, you can see that we have been very busy outside learning about being safe in the sun. Please remember to wear your hat everyday at School for the rest of this term.
As a treat for being so great Mrs Brattle said we could have a picnic lunch. We got our lunch boxes and sat outside in the shade. Mrs Brattle read us stories while we ate our lunch, it was fun and we felt special.
After lunch we had whole School singing, then we packed up our class and went to visit Mrs Davidson in the library. We started making our reading journals for the school holidays!!

It is very important to wear a hat because you will get sun burnt or get skin cancer. A few Days ago Mrs Brattle fond some sun UV measuring beads. We took them out side they changed colour and we took some photos of them. I was in Tora's group with Karen and Sammie and Rohan, we took lots of photos and went to lots of places but it just stayed the same colour. The colours change it when we put them to the light.

This just goes to show how important it is to wear your hat. All people at Plateau School need to wear a hat everyday in term 4. Being safe in the sun is a very important thing to do. Thank you to the group of children who went out to measure the Uv rays around the School, it just goes to show how powerful the sun is in New Zealand.
Stay sunsafe people and thanks for reading our blog.
