Cyrus's Yoghurt Container

Cyrus has some healthy yoghurt for morning tea.  After eating the yoghurt Cyrus knew what to do with the pottle.  He went straight to the tap and washed it out.  Then it was a trip to the bins where he knew which bin to put it in.  Well done Cyrus for recycling.

Healthy Lunches

Our Inquiry this term is about healthy eating and how our body works.  We took a look at some of our lunches and saw the healthy things the children are eating.  Good on Logan, Pene and Samson for bringing some healthy sandwiches, Kura for bringing some yummy strawberries, Anne Marie for bringing some milk to drink and Cyrus with his yoghurt.

Our New Duffy Books

The children were very lucky to receive a new Duffy Book each just in time for the holidays.  They enjoyed sharing them with each other and look forward to sharing them with their whanau.

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.
