Holiday Life

So whilst we slave away in class, some are enjoying the high life of 5 star hotels and diet coke in cans…so it seems anyway. Lucky students are traveling this term break with their families to many places around NZ and beyond.
Stay tuned for more Henry and other holiday snaps.

Sawadi Ka!

Students from Room 5 enjoyed a great opportunity to share their interests and knowledge with a group of visiting students from Thailand on Thursday. 

Some luck students received gifts and all enjoyed chatting and hearing about life in Thailand. 

Melting Crayons

I had an idea for my Casebrook Challenge to do something creative. I searched on the internet creative ideas and I saw this picture of crayons at the top of a canvas. I clicked on it and wasn't really sure how to do it at first. I got my canvas and stuck all the difference colour crayons on it and got something hot to melt the wax. I used a hair dryer to melt them, but first I had to actually set up so I put newspaper all over the ground, not sure if the colours would flick off everywhere. I started to melt the crayons and of course they ended up getting all over the ground and the cupboards. At last I finished and I thought it turned out better than I expected :)

Tasty Science

Caitlin Mac proves science reaps many benefits. Hokey pokey is a great way to tick off a Casebrook challenge and start the day on a scientific sugar rush!

Joseph's Scientific Lava Lamp

With a clever combination of household ingredients, Joseph wowed the class with his homemade lava lamp. A great Casebrook challenge!

Matt's Mars Lecture

Matt gave us a lecture on the Mars Discovey today. A really cool Q and A session with our resident NASA expert.

Masterchef Henry

Henry's choc chip biscuits. Apparently they were better than Subway's!

Rutherford's Den Returns!

Rutherford's Den Returns!

Yesterday at rutherfords den we were taught about the interesting life of Ernest Rutherford by role play, also we went round tables and explored some of the successful life of other famous people. Like Kate Shepard, Sir Edmund Hillary and others.

Emma

Constable Matt Reeves!

We were extremely fortunate to spend a morning learning about law and order courtesy of Alex's dad, Matt.
To say the students enjoyed the visit would be a massive understatement! Half of the classroom seem to have been recruited for police college when they are old enough!

Masterchef Michael

Amazing Masterchef today. What better way is there to celebrate humpday than by enjoying great tasting cupcakes! 

All enjoyed them, even Constable Matt who joined us today. 

Street Art Trip from Term 1

Finally! The video of our trip to the city to look at the amazing street art happening around the buildings and empty lots. Not to mention, producing some of our own and looking at some really famous pieces at the museum.

April Fools Day!

Sarah wins the prize for best April Fools prank of the day…there were a few but a fake broken arm takes the cake!
