FONTERRA SCIENCE ROADSHOW

The pupils were lucky enough to go to the Science Roadshow and see some spectacular science exhibits. The topics covered were communication, detection, heat, levers, gears and inclined planes, sounds and quirky curiosities. All the exhibits were hands on and students could experiment all they liked. The presenters did some amazing experiments to thrill the group such as burn through a piece of steel and set flour and meths on fire!

We Welcome our Japanese Visitors

Three Room 2 students have been lucky enough to have hosted a Japanese student in their home for the past two weeks. The students have been learning english in the mornings and exploring the Bay of Plenty in the afternoons. However, they did find some time to come into our classrooms to make pois and teach us origami.

Finally the night arrived for us to perform! Slap dancing by the boys, drumming by Ryan and Matty and beautiful dancing by the lovely girls of Room 2.We were to depict the three Pacific Island nations coming to the Rugby World Cup later in the year. Our stunning giant puppets operated by the boys proved to be a huge hit.
Well done everyone!

OUR WET, WET DAY AT THE CROSS COUNTRY!

Despite atrocious conditions we battled on through the mud, gorse and rain to compete in the annual Small Schools Cross Country at Whakamarama School. Room 2 pupils had been training hard on the Jess Road block for the last month so were looking forward to the day.
Everybody did really well, particularly Lys, Georgia, Hannah, Alec, Nic, Max and Freddie.
