Notices - Fair + Colour Day

Human Impact on Aotearoa

Our current science topic is 'Human impact on Aotearoa'. Today we learnt about plastics and the many problems they cause. Plastic stays on our earth for a long time, a lot longer than the amount of time it is used for.

We are doing a bag experiment. This involves burying a plastic bag, a brown paper bag and a biodegradable bag. Next term we will dig up these bags and see if there are any changes (if any have started to decompose) or if they are still the same.

What do you think will happen? Leave a comment with your prediction. 

Instruction Writing

Today we were writing instructions for 'How to blow up a balloon.'

We had fun at the start blowing up our balloon. This is definitely a tricky thing to do! Everyone was very patient and calm and did the best they could.

Glue Sticks

It's that time of the year already ... when we are nearly out of glue sticks.

If possible, it would be much appreciated if you could bring in one glue stick for class use.

Many thanks!

Science Experiment

We loved doing some science this afternoon! We didn't find out the name of the experiment until they end so it didn't give too much away. It is called 'Lava in a cup'.

We learnt that oil is lighter than water so that it why it came to the top. We also learnt that salt is heavier than oil, when it sinks down it takes some oil with it but then the salt dissolves and back up goes the oil (creating bubbles).

We did some excellent scientific thinking and drawings. (I forgot to take a video as we did it but we did a quick video at the end to show our whānau).

Raffle Card

Raffle cards came home today. Please return these to school ASAP to help with our school fair (with or without money). Thank you. 

Dance - Coding

We had Tim come in this afternoon to teach us a dance unplugged lesson (without devices) to do with coding. This was great fun!
