Kia ora,

With the weather not looking the best for Fridays trip, the call will be made just after 8am on whether or not we will have to postpone. Please keep a look out on the blog for any word on the postponement.

Calendar Art

Please see below the art work the students of Room 10 have submitted for the calendar art exercise. Order forms have gone home and the students are very proud of their efforts.

Parent help

Kia ora, 

As you are well aware this term we have many E.O.T.C trips which require parent helpers. Next one being Travis Wetlands on Friday 1st September. If you or anyone of age known to the students is able to help us out of this or any of our other trips that would be greatly appreciated. 

Room 10 

BNZ Closed for good

With 23rd of August being BNZ's annual Closed for good, Room 10 were lucky enough to have Karyn volunteer her time to teach us about money, savings and spending. It was amazing to find out how much the food we have in lunches cost! 

A nice one

A funny one

Tuesday afternoon

With a bunch of teachers off sick, middle team decided in put a hold on their usual arts interchange. With this in mind room 10 decided it was a good time to get their hands dirty and begin to pull apart one of the old lawn mowers Mr Morell had laying around. We cannot wait till we get the motor off and get to see how it works.

Before we begun

Bit of instruction

Lets do this!!

How does the Ratchet work?

Yes! we got the cover off

Progress 

Why won't it come loose!!

Ice block stick house

Today Blayke made a house out of ice block sticks with Helen.

Science

As part of the Middle Team Tuesday interchange, Mr Morell is teaching us a little bit of science. This week we looked at the properties of different powers. We had to describe the texture, smell, what it looked like and even what happened when we added water & vinegar. It was cool.

Opportunities

Rooms 10 & 11 are lucky enough to have Becky from Van Asch, come in on Wednesdays to teach us some sign language. Here are a couple of pictures of a group of student's learning to play a fun new game.
