I’ve researched on Google maps, how long it takes from Waiau Pa School to get to Clarks Beach. Which is the closest beach to our school. It is only 7 minutes, 5.4 km by car!!! I have also researched how long it takes and the distance between Waiau Pa and Wellington. Wellington is at the bottom of the North Island in New Zealand. It takes 630 km, 7 hours and 58 minutes by car!!!! Bluff is at the bottom of the South Island in New Zealand. It takes 1659 km, 22 hours and 10 minutes by car!!!!! It takes 39.6 km, 35 minutes by car to get to Auckland Airport.

Conservation group. Have a look at our garden page : http://2012wpsrm05.wikispaces.com/Garden+Challenge

To make a plant grow you will need… To plant the seeds in the garden you have to do this: get some and dig a hole In the dirt and put one seed in the hole. Cover it with dry dirt. Then get a water can and water your garden. At Waiau -pa school we are doing the tui garden challenge. We could win a new shed, new hose and a new seed packets. If we get two sheds we can have one of the sheds for tools and the other one for the seed shed. we learn to care for our environment so the plants and our native birds. To do that we have to stop dumping rubbish over the place. By Will and Cam

I’ve had a look around your blog and I think it is VERY cool. I really liked the video about saving the environment and recycling. I think it was a very good idea so when people come and look on your blog they will learn about recycling. I also liked Daniel’s Story Bird it was very interesting to read. It is very good that you have 973 visitors because we only have 502 visitors.

From Mia Thanks, Do you use storybird? By lisa

Hi Waiau Pa School,

 Your website is very interesting. We only have 3 R’s in Australia. I can’t believe you’ve had 973 visitors, and launched your Website on 9 February.

I really like planting plants like you did to. It is Spring here, just like in New Zealand.
