Rocket man!
Last Friday Te Whenua had a fascinating visit from Gerry Munden, aka the Rocket Man from Aerospace. He bought lots of interesting rockets along with him, and we could see how they are designed to come apart into different segments as they power through space. Many paper versions were created through the day, complete with onboard fuel supply and detachable segments! We loved watching Gerry and Emily set off two rockets on the top field!
Team Work!
Recently the classes in Tui team (Te Whenua, Te Ra and Uenuku) took part in a treasure hunt throughout the junior end of the school. The children were working together as a team to follow the clues and hunt for pieces of paper with letters on them. Once all of the letters were found the children put them together to spell Team Work!
Happy Easter!
I hope everyone had a lovely Easter! The weather was stunning 🙂 The children prepared for Easter by baking Bunny Butts – I know, they sound shocking but they are extremely cute and very tasty!
