Room One Musicians

Room one have been learning the recorder. It was fabulous to see them in action during Friday's assembly. Well done Room One!

Playing in the Puddles

The heavy rain caused minor flooding on our school field on Wednesday. It was great to see some parents letting their children play in the puddles after school on Friday. Good on you Mr Templeton and Miss Chell for joining in!

Science Day

Weird Science Day

Next week is Science Week. As part of our inquiry on ‘colour’ Team Two are having our annual weird science day on MONDAY THE 7^TH OF MAY. Classes will move around a variety of activities at school, exploring and experimenting with colour. Please let your child’s teacher know if you would like to help.

Children are encouraged to dress up as either a weird scientist, or on the theme of colour!

Professor refraction: Hands on experiments involving bending light.
Professor Rainbow: Create a rainbow, understand what rainbows are, find out why the sky is blue!
Professor Eye Spy: All about how we see…experiments on vision. (Please be aware this activity will include a modelled ‘dissection’ of an eye)
Professor Spectrum: Getting stuck into colour…explore it, make it, change it!
Professor Kaleidoscope: Make your own kaleidoscope exploring how light reflects and bounces.

Asthma Mufti Day

Tomorrow the school are having a mufti day to raise money for the asthma foundation. What a great cause! Did you know that New Zealand has the second highest prevalence of asthma in the world.  The Asthma foundation of NZ  research indicates thet one in six New Zealand adults and one in four of our children experience asthma symptoms. (Adding up to more than 600 000 Kiwis.) Dig deep and support this worthwhile cause!
Children are encouraged to wear a bright colour and bring a gold coin donation.
