Little Gardens

For our Environmental Art Room 9 is planting  a vegetable and herb garden in colourful tyres . Yesterday we all got to put together a new world little garden. Miss Spies gave us each an extra one  to take home and make with our whanau. We are learning about the life cycle of a plant and will be watching them sprout and grow in the next few days and weeks. Pop into Room 9 to check them out! 

The Impossible Bridge

Today we read "The Impossible Bridge". It was about a class of children who tried to make a bridge from one table to another table. This inspired us to give it a go. We started by talking about what an engineer is- We learnt that engineers design materials, structures and systems. So we thought we could be engineers for the day and design and build a bridge (structure). We got into small groups and used sticks, wool, straws, sellotape  and cardboard.  Mr Williams came in and judged our bridges, the criteria was how strong, stable and safe our bridges were. The winners scored a whooping 30/30 and had amyleigh, Wali, Runnna-mya, Mereka, Allena, and Wiremu in the group!

Ka Pai to all our fantastic engineers today!! :) 

Ask us about different kinds of bridges!! 

The Impossible Bridge

EarthQuakes

I saw a big giant tower fall.
I saw an extreme tree fall down, it crumbled everywhere.
I heard a rumbling noise coming my way, it was scary.
I heard someone scream for help.
I felt scared like a scardy cat
I wondered if I would survive.
When I was in an earthquake, I was screaming.
