Museum story by Ryan

Yesterday LZ6 and LZ5 and LZ4 went to the Museum on the school bus. In the bus we got crackers and when we got there we went to the volcano house. The tv turned on and then the house shook as the volcano erupted. It was fun but it wouldn’t be in real life!

Museum story by Ricky

We went to the Museum on Tuesday because we are learning about insects. I liked the dinosaur room and there was a long necked dinosaur. I had a great time. The dinosaurs were made out of bones. They were so big they touched the ceiling. I liked the T-rex because it had sharp teeth.

Museum story by Logan

LZ6 went on the bus to the Museum and we liked the bugs. The stick insect was fun and the stick insect was in a tank. I got to hold it, it was cool because it looked like it was a branch. It had spikes on its back. The bees had flowers in a tank and they were flying.

Museum story by Paige

We went to the Museum to learn about bugs. My favourite thing was the stick insect because it was amazing. I got to hold it and it was ticklish. It danced on my hand and it was cute. It was long and skinny and I wasn’t scared.

Museum story by Alvin

Yesterday LZ6 and LZ5 and LZ4 went to the Museum. We went there by bus. My favourite thing from the Museum was the volcano. I went inside the volcano house and inside there was an earthquake! I felt a bit scared because the whole room was shaking – the lights were shaking, the floor was shaking too!!! When I went outside I saw a volcano but it wasn’t real, it was only fake.

Museum story by Nikail

On Tuesday LZ6 and LZ5 and LZ4 went to Auckland Museum on the bus. It was a long drive to get there. LZ6 wanted to learn about bugs. My favourite insect was the centipede. The centipedes are really long and the centipedes have a lot of legs. They can be tiny or enormous. When we pulled the drawers open we saw the centipedes.

LZ6 went to the Museum with LZ4 and LZ5. We looked at a stick insect on Tuesday. It tickled my hand. When it got on my hand it was soft. It looked like a branch. It was camouflaged.

Museum story by Harry

On Tuesday LZ6 and LZ4 and LZ5 went to the Museum. I learnt about bugs then I saw some lizards. There were two lizards, one was green and one was dark. They live in the tree. The dark lizard was scared and they were camouflaged because I could hardly see them.

Museum story by Dylan

LZ6 went to the Museum to look at bugs. I saw a giant moa. It is a bird but it can’t fly. It is extinct, that means they are dead and there are no more left in the world.

Museum story by Faatimah

LZ6 went to the Museum. I liked the birds because they fly. The birds are stuffed at the Museum because some are dead. The eagle was there, so was the pukeko and the little birds too.

Museum story by Natalee

I went to the Museum with my class to see insects and I saw a volcano. The volcano is cool and I went inside the house and there was a movie about earthquakes. When the movie started the house moved. The floor shook and the lights went on and off.

Museum story by Jed

LZ6 and LZ5 and LZ4 went to the Museum. My favourite was the bumble bees because they were fat and furry. They were in a tank and they were flying around like an aeroplane.

Christchurch earthquake tribute off YouTube



We have seen many images from Christchurch over the past 10 days. We found this video tribute interesting as it has many photos of buildings before and after the earthquake side by side. We are thinking of you Christchurch and sending you all of our love!

MHP goes red and black for Christchurch!


What great support everyone showed today at our red and black mufti day! We were raising money for victims of the Christchurch earthquake and in LZ6 we collected exactly $100!!! That is pretty awesome for only 20 kids. Thanks heaps to everyone who donated money!

Look at our great buddy class!


We are very excited to be buddies with LZ9 for 2011! We have plans to make movies and animations together that we can share on our blogs! LZ9 has a blog too...go and visit them at www.learningzone9.blogspot.com and you can see what they are up to.

Look at our amazing self portraits!


We are such talented artists in LZ6! We spent time on our self portraits to make them as detailed as possible, then coloured carefully our skin colour using 'people' crayons, before using textured rubbing plates to create cool background effects. They are now hanging up in LZ6...come and see them!
