Today we had a visit from a Fonterra milk tanker.
We learned all about how the tankers collect the milk from the farms and how they keep the milk cold on the journey. We heard about the sustainable practices that the Fonterra factories do.
It was really cool to hear from the dairy farming families about cows and milk. Everyone got to have a close look at the tanker and the machine that monitors the milk. There were a lot of sore ears after everyone honked the horn!!
Here is a picture of some of our students and the tanker.
Everyone was lucky enough to receive some yummy flavoured milk from Fonterra too.
After the visit Kakapo kids had lots of questions about milk production, export and sustainable businesses. We continued with our own passion projects around these questions and presented them in different ways, sharing our learning with the class.
Kakapo love to inquire about new things and work together to solve problems. We really enjoy authentic learning and choosing what we learn about. Our class shows mercy and gives service by taking on many roles of responsibility, which helps to prepare us to be leaders in our school whanau. We love sports, being creative and getting hands on both in and out of the classroom. Our prayers are filled with aroha and we strive to live our school values. Whakarongo ki te tangi a te manu Kakapo!

Hello Kakapo Class, Max from Paroa School here. It's so cool how Fonterra came down and visited you.What was your favourite thing that happened? Next time maybe you could make your writing a little bit bigger. :)
