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!

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.
