A Fonterra Treat!

A big thank you to Fonterra for the treats they gave the whole school yesterday.  Here are some of the children's story which show how much they appreciated their treat.

Jump Jam At Friday Assembly

Each Friday members of different teams have been demonstrating ways you can get fit and have fun.  This Friday it was team one's turn to show everyone how we love doing Jump Jam.  Logan, Samson, Anne Marie and Siulua were the representatives from Room 16.  They sure got everyone up and enjoying doing Jump Jam proving you can have fun while exercising your body.

Feeding the Eels

Today during Makerspace the children visited the eels again.  They were fascinated by the eels on their last visit and this time Tupou and Pene were brave and fed them.  Pene said "They have sharp teeth but they didn't bite me.  I touched Chompy, the eel.  He is getting bigger."  Tupou liked watching the eels swimming.

Planning and Constructing A Marble Run

On the last day of term the children had fun using what they had learnt during Term 2 Inquiry to build a marble run.  They were soon busy planning and building, cutting and taping up boxes and bits and pieces.  The fun part was testing out the marble runs and looking at what other groups had made and getting the other groups to explain how they had made their marble run.  It was a fun end to our simple machines inquiry.

No Picnic on Friday.

It was too wet and windy to have our picnic down at the Pt England beach so the prefects helped everyone have some fun at lunchtime by organising a disco in the hall.   Everyone had a lot of fun dancing and singing.  Thank you prefects for making it such a fun lunchtime.
