Our Enviro Day

Room 8 had a surprising start to Term 4; it was our 7th Enviro Day. In the morning we used our team work, problem solving & perseverance to complete a scavenger hunt through the native bush walk. Well done Ashley, Daniel and Max - the winning team!

Next we learnt te Reo Maori words for common garden insects and wrote garden poetry. Did you know kihikihi is te Reo for cicada?

Lastly, we even got to explore the brand new orchard and taste the sugar snap peas we've been growing in the edible garden. They tasted so sweet, fresh and crunchy. Jasmine said she could eat a bucketful!

Enviro days are exciting & delicious!

Teach The Teacher

Today Aayush demonstrated a science experiment to the class. He used water, food colouring, oil and salt to make 'opposite rain'.

The World Of Science

Today we used the magic of science to do a trick. With our buddies, we were able to pick up some ice using a piece of string, some water, and salt. We were not allowed to use our hands.

Teach The Teacher

Today Riley demonstrated the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid. He made oobleck from water and cornstarch and poured it into a balloon. It felt soft, like water if you squeezed it in your hand, but it felt hard if you tried to hit it.

Teach The Teacher

Today for Teach The Teacher Joseph showed us some science experiments. He demonstrated what happens when oil and water are mixed together and how inks and dyes can travel and change across a  wet paper towel. Riley and Reuben assisted.
