What we learnt about Soup the Turtle

Before we wrote our recounts about Soup.

We brainstormed all we had learnt.

** When she is frightened, she goes back into her shell.

** She can hold her breath for 4 hours.

** Soup is 16 years old.

**She needs, water, food, protection, sun and air to live.

** Her clothes are her shell.

** She can live for 20 years.

Richie McCaw's Milk Run

Wouldn't it be great if Richie McCaw delivered our milk to school in his helicopter?

We have plenty of space on our field for him to land his helicopter!

To enter our school, follow the link below.

https://www.fonterramilkforschools.com/news/richies-milk-run-launch/

New Zealand dietary guidelines recommend school children drink two to three servings of milk per day.

A Massey University study led by the School of Food and Nutrition's Professor Marlena Kruger last year found children who attended schools that participated in Fonterra Milk for Schools had significantly better bone health than those who didn't.

As well as encouraging kids to drink more milk, the Fonterra Milk for Schools programme aims to help teach them about sustainability.

The milk comes in tetra packs which are recycled into different materials in Thailand. Some are used to make school books and others roof tiles. They are sent overseas because New Zealand doesn't have a tetra recycling machine.
