Bush Explorers Trip to Zealandia

Our school was selected to take 50 kids to Zealandia - it was a case of the first 50 names in and I've never seen such a quick response!! What an amazing time we had. We must try to get the whole school here sometime! Many thanks to the awesome staff on the Education Team at Zealandia - you are fabulous!

Yucky Bugs!

Here's a neat video we watched this afternoon - all about bugs! (Part of our Inquiry topic this term)

Lightbot

I went to a 'STEAM' workshop last week. (Science/Technology/Engineering/Art/Maths)
Came away with lots of ideas!
Here's a coding game that we tried yesterday.

Warning - it is highly addictive! (Do let the kids have a turn as well!)

Life Education

This week, the Life Education Truck came and visited us. This is a classroom specifically set up to promote the Health curriculum.

We learnt about healthy eating and how to read the labels on food packaging - what's a treat and what's not.

Koraunui School's Bioblitz

A group of us were very fortunate to be invited over to Koraunui School's Bioblitz today. What an amazing time we had - checking out bees in the "Lab in a box" identifying plants and insects over at the Horoeka reserve and then over to the community hub for all sorts of things! All the while being transported around on a fancy-decorated bus!

Many thanks to Di Christenson and her team for inviting us! (Click on photo to see more)
