Dear BotanyLife Community Church

I like how you made the gardens look nice at our school. From Zana

I like the maze because it is fun and I like walking around in the maze and I wanted to get to the middle. Thank you for making the maze. From Dykie

Thank you for building the sandpit and the maze. I really like it because the maze is very long and I got to the middle before someone else got to the middle. The sandpit is awesome! From Aum

Thank you for your help with building the garden. I like the sand. From Alex

Thank you for helping in the secret garden. I liked the maze and the sandpit most of all. From Krishant

Thank you for helping to plant our flowers in our corner. My favourite part is the sandpit. What is your favourite part? Did you help each other to work on all the things in the secret garden? From Benny

Thank you for the work. We are so lucky. From Mallika

Zana's Hammerhead Shark News

Zana caught this hammerhead shark all by herself while fishing on her family's boat near Maraetai Beach in the weekend. She brought it in for news because she thought the children would really like to see a real hammerhead shark not just a photo.

Some of the children were brave enough to touch the shark... eeww it was slimy when you rubbed it one way and prickly when you rubbed it back the other way! 

Oh and it was a bit smelly! 

Did you notice that it’s eyes are on the side of its head? Freaky!! 

Check out the photos!

This shark's unusual name, hammerhead, comes from the unusual shape of its head.  A hammerhead shark uses its wide head to trap stingrays by pinning them to the seafloor. The shark's eye placement, on each end of its very wide head, allows it to scan more area more quickly than other sharks can.
