A Hunger for Palm oil

A Hunger for Palm oil is a website we created for the TVNZ Multimedia WebChallenge 2009. We made this website about Sumartran Tigers, Orangutans and about how they are effected by the palm oil growing in their habitat.  On food labels palm oil is not always labelled.

Japanese Students

In Term 4, on Friday 6th November we had 5 Japanese students come to our class, at Freeville School. Their names were Kenta, Shoko, Mayuko, Yuko and Yoko.  They talked to us about life in Japan.  

They showed us a slideshow, it was as if we were in Japan.  Hearing about sumo fighting and bento lunches;it was a inspirational afternoon.  We will never forget it.  Only half an hour can turn into years of experience.


They taught us how to make a Origami paper plane - Japanese style.  We have the instructions below if you want to make one at home.  We also found out that the population of Japan is 127 million compared to 4.5 million in New Zealand.
