Wow Week - Science

In Week 6 of Term 2 we had our first ever Wow Week! It was really exciting. The focus for the week was water related as we had just finished the Wai Water Wai unit. We learnt about the different things water can do. Over the week, we did lots of experiments. We had to make predictions about what we thought would happen, then we carried out the experiment and finally we evaluated it to reflect on the learning. Here is a video which shows what we did throughout Wow Week.

Marae Visit

As an introduction to our Matariki Unit, we visited Waikare Marae. We had an awesome day where we learnt more about the haka. We also learnt how to use rakau sticks and poi. We got to play some fun games too.  We were in the second group that went to the marae so the first group got to welcome us on. It was pretty cool to see them being a part of the marae. We also know that we now belong to Waikare Marae.

Here is a video of the group that Miss Mills was with for the day which shows us demonstrating what we learnt.
