Bring Your Jacket for Swimming

The weather will not be our friend this week so make sure you come to school with a waterproof jacket as well as your togs. If you have an umbrella it will come in handy too!

A few spare plastic bags might come in handy also.

Pap High Roadshow

Today we went to the Papanui roadshow. It was awesome, all the musicians were incredible and played beautifully. I really enjoyed the guitar group and the saxophone group they played 

really amazing. The Papanui roadshow gave the students at Casebrook a taste of what Papanui high school to offer.

Caitlin's Hokey Pokey

As part of a Science Badge investigation Caitlin brought in some home-made Hokey Pokey for us last week.
I used 8 T of sugar and 4 T of golden syrup. I let it simmer for about 5 minutes and then I added 1 t of baking soda. This was the exiting part because it rose and I had to stir really hard! Then I put it into a greased pan and let it harden. The next day I took it into school and every one enjoyed it!

Nice work Caitlin; science you can eat!

Thanks all our viewers. We've passed 2000 views for the year so far...and it's only Term 2. Make sure you keep tuning in to see the exciting things happening in Term 2 such as our study on The Economy and Enterprise in our 'How Stuff Works' inquiry...and of course plenty of Casebrook Challenge Food action.

Room 5's Grand Design

Here's video footage of Room 5 preparing the class for the term. Set the challenge of planning, then co-ordinating the shifting of furniture to best maximise learning space...from the learners perspective...Room 5 worked some magic today!
With Architect Caitlin Mac, and Project Managers, Cara and Michael, to oversee the 'Grand Design', Room 5 worked brilliantly together to complete the move in 10 minutes.
Awesome work!
