Making Bee Masks at Makerspace
Making bee masks was rather popular at Makerspace this week. They learnt about the two compound eyes of a bee that are made up of hundreds of hexagonal units. Bees can see things that are invisible to humans like the patterns on petals that guide the bees towards the flower's nectar stores.

Team One Certificate Winners For Week 3 Term 2
Sometimes it is hard to try new things. When you are brave and try new things you sometimes find it wasn't so hard and it really was fun. That is what Aie Sorn and Harmeny found at Kiwi sport yesterday. They persevered, were able to do some tricky things and ended up having fun. Well done girls for being brave.

Up Close With Mr Jacobsen's Robot
On the first day back at school each term we have an immersion assembly about our new Inquiry topic. This term it is called "I like your Latitude". Mr Jacobsen built this wonderful robot and he was inside the robot making it move around the stage much to the children's delight. We were able to get up close and see all the items he had used to make the robot look so good.
