Our tamariki ran so well in their first School Cross Country. They trained hard, had a fantastic attitude and really rose to the challenge. The tamariki really enjoyed running in the rain and the experience generated some wonderful writing experiences later in the day. Thank you to all those that came along to support us.

Celebrating the letter Hh
Today we ate hazelnuts, honey, ham and honey bubble slice. Lots of delicious things to try and some new tastes for some of us. We made some very cool looking hedgehogs by putting apples, grapes and marshmallows on skewers then sticking them into half of an orange.
Science - Hovercraft
Today we looked at how a hovercraft moves on a pillow of air. We made a hovercraft by using the hot glue gun to attach the lid off a 'pump' bottle over the hole of an old CD (it is important to use a lot of glue so that no air escapes around the edges). Mrs Keats blew up a balloon and attached it to the top. When the lid was opened the gas (carbon dioxide) left the balloon and went through the lid and spread across the surface of the CD making it lift and float slightly above the table making it easy to move.
Here is a link to a Youtube clip with instructions if you want to try it at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbAuaN8wIvA
