Week 5 - Science Experiment

On Monday our class did a science experiment with soda water and pasta. The first class we put just pasta into a normal class of water and the pasta sunk to the bottom. (not very exciting) Mr Sheaff poured a soda water into a jug and then dropped pasta into the jug. The pasta sunk to the bottom but then the pasta jumped back up to the top. It was the bubbles in the soda water that is pushing the pasta back to the top! Here is the video below!

Week 4 - Duffy Theatre

On Friday we had special guests from Duffy books! They performed an awesome play for us.

There were only three people in the show but they played multiple characters and did an amazing job! Check out the highlights below!

Week 4 - learning update

Hello everyone!

Week 4 has been a busy week so far! On Tuesday Mr Sheaff got some new puzzles to be used during reading time, they included some traditional style puzzles and also some "Word Puzzles". Another new game maths game was introduced, which is DICE Addition. See the wonderful completed work below.

For Reading we have been focusing on different sounds words can make, see Nathaniel's completed Digraph worksheet! 

Marae Trip Week 3

Today Awa (Junior School) went on our marae trip to Orakei. We were welcomed onto the marae and learnt a new powhiri. The marae was very beautiful with many carvings. A very safe and successful trip.

Term 3 Week 2 Science Experiment

Today for writing we did a science experiment. We had three different types of liquids. We learnt today that each liquid had a different weight. If it was heavy it would sink to the bottom, if it was light it would rise to the top.

We poured syrup (which was heavy), water (which is light) and oil (which is really LIGHT).

The yellow oil floated to the top and the syrup stayed at the bottom. The water stayed in the middle.

After we completed the experiment we did our writing about it!
