Steam Engine

Yesterday we learned that to make energy we needed to change something into it. Water needed to be  turned into steam by heating it to turn a motor. Wind turns a turbine to make electricity.

Enviroschool Hui

Yesterday 20 Enviroschool team children went to a Hui at the Wildlife Park and on the Kepler Track.
Six children from Room 2 were part of this team.
We were able to talk to other children about our fantastic environment and show them the Kepler
track.We did some exciting activities like tracking on the track.
These our photos from the Hui day.

Invercargill yesterday

We went to see the Capital E Theatre show called "Mr McGee and his biting flea," It was a fantastic show.
Come in to our class and see our awesome art work about the show.
At lunch time we went to Queens Park. We had to try climbing our way to the top of this structure, just like we are doing in our inquiry unit.

SIT performance

We were so lucky to have an amazing performance by the SIT band this morning. They are called The Joseph's. They played drums, electric and bass guitars as well as a singer.

Jojo came to see us!

Erin has a baby possum at home. Her brother Liam went hunting with friends and shot the mother but the baby fell down. Jojo drinks milk and lives in a basket in the bathroom. He likes curling up in a woolly hat.
