How long ago did the first man walk on the moon?

Mrs Cammell (who teaches us on Wednesday mornings) asked us this question this week! What do you know?

The above website is a great way to learn about current events! Please have a browse and see what you can find out about the world and what is happening in New Zealand! It is run by volunteer New Zealand teachers.

We then had a great STEM challenge to try! Making our own rockets and see how we trialled them... I'm not sure if we can make it to the moon but everyone has got to start somewhere!

Tinker time - woohoo - collaborative and creative learning!

Edisons - read a simple code and create a journey. Lots of experimentation here, Mrs Trembath gave no instructions. We had children teach their skills to the next little group.

Patience and creativity here. And on such a hot afternoon a little mindfulness too. 

Beading requires careful planning and patterning.

This group started to add lego pieces to their edisons and add some of their own personality!
