Māori with Mrs Yeoman

We are loving having Māori with Mrs Yeoman on a Friday morning!

Selena the sensational speller!

Congratulations to Selena who was awarded a distinction in the ICAS spelling competition.  This means she got more than 90% correct!  Wow - Mrs King and Mrs Spencer know who to ask if they don't know how to spell something!

A furry visitor

Today Evie's homework presentation was about 'Kippa' her puppy.  Fortunately for us we not only learnt all about her, we got to meet her too!  Adorable!

Uke Jam

Today 24 students from George Street Normal School took part in the Uke Jam at Tahuna Intermediate.  5 of those students were from Room 10 - can you spot them?!

STEAM Challenge - Swinging Bucket

Can you make a structure with a swinging bucket strong enough to hold a pair of scissors?  You only get 20 straws, 1 metre of string, 1 metre of masking tape and a plastic cup.  It may sound difficult but three of our groups were successful!

STEAM Challenge - How Strong is Spaghetti?

Today's STEAM challenge was very tricky.  The groups had to try to make a structure that would hold books on top by using 100 pieces of dry spaghetti pasta and some polystyrene.

STEAM - Jack's Parachute Challenge

We are enjoying STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, The Arts, Mathematics).  Today we tried to create a parachute to fly Jack down from the beanstalk.

Ice Skating Evening.

What a big crowd at the Ice Skating evening tonight!  The children were having so much fun on the ice.  Thank you to the P.T.A for organising this wonderful event.
