Blind Foundation

Today, Devon from the Blind Foundation came in to visit. She talked to us about blindness and the resources available to the visually impaired. Devon showed us a talking clock, let us read Braille and typed our names in Braille for us.
Did you know the Blind Foundation has 12,000 members in New Zealand BUT there are only 400 working Guide Dogs in NZ?

Baking Day

We had a great day yesterday when Mr and Mrs Carnaby came in and taught us how to make bread (and how the yeast works) and sugar candy. Yummy!!

Mr Kirk

On Friday, Mr Kirk came to visit the class and share his fantastic 'arthropoda" collection with us.

Take a look at our new friend.

Massey Univeristy Guest Speakers

Last week the Senior Skyscrapers had Dr. Pete Hutton and Dr. Sarah Pain come to school to talk to us about some aspects of Science.

We had so much fun (especially making a mess with the iodene... ah boys!).

Take a look at our photos.

Room 11

In Room 11 this term we are integrating most of our work with our Connected Curriculum topic of "Successful Science Investigators".

Today we looked at the Water Cycle. Wow!!! Evaporation, condensation, percepitation..... All these new big words we learnt. We're going to try and run this experiment again at home to see if we can teach Mum and Dad a thing or two and see if we can find a different way of investigating the topic of Water Cycle.

I wonder how everyone will go ......................... WATCH THIS SPACE!
