Science Fun

Last week we had so much fun carrying out some science experiments. One of our favourite was exploring what happens when you add mentos to coke. We are looking forward to more science this term.

Pool Party

On Wednesday we celebrated the reopening of our swimming pool with an official ceremony and a whole school pool party! There was a slip n slide where we slid so fast some of us fell off the end! The water fight was a challenge, dodging shots from every direction but we all managed to come out of the battlefield smiling and laughing. Having our photo taken in front of the green screen was so realistic. Some of us really felt like we were being chased by a shark or under a cool waterfall. What a great day!

Science Van

Science in a Van visited our school. Mack and Devon welcomed them and did an amazing job. We were all engaged and excited to learn about science. It was funny watching Mrs Palmer scared that she might get wet from the liquid in the cup. Connor did a great job identifying wood! Hayz and Haami liked being a volunteer too. They gave us a fun way to remember what a liquid, solid and gas is by using our hands. We can't wait to try our more science in the classroom!

Here is a link to a video the science van made with Mack and Devon.

Goal Setting

1st Week Back

Well we are back at school and so far we have had lots of fun. We have had a snowball fight, been for lots of swims, did some bottle flipping for maths and had fun creating some art. What a great start to the year!

Our Ancestors Journey

We have been working hard decorating and building our Wharenui.  We had to research who our ancestors were and what country they came from.  This helped us to have our Wharenui represent who we are.  We think they look fantastic now we have put them all together.

Social Dancing

This week Year 5 and 6 students started social dancing. Mr and Mrs Stewart are teaching us lots of different dances. The Year 5's are picking up the dance moves quickly and the Year 6's are remembering the steps from last year. We are looking forward to our social dance in a few weeks.

Swimming

We are all loving being back in our pool. We swim twice a week and been having lots of on the inflatable toys, diving for sinking quoits and getting Mrs Palmer wet!
