Transport Inventions!

We have been very busy in Room 6- Designing, Problem Solving and Making our 'Moving Vehicles'

The vehicle had to carry an egg 50cm form A to B. Our next step is working in a group to use our ideas and recreate another moving vehicle...this time we have to create a vehicle that will carry an egg 1 metre (Double 50cm!)

Don't forget we have Parent Assembly this Friday.  Room 5 and 6 are running the assembly.  See you all there!

We had to say farewell to Ada today.  She is moving to Auckland.. we will miss her smiley face, passion for Maths and counting, her caring nature and great attitude towards all her learning. Haere ra, Ada! Remember to send us an email. xo

Inquiry- The World in Motion

Inquiry for term 2: We are helping the children to understand that people have explored their world throughout time, using different forms of transport. People have the ability to move themselves and things through their own inventiveness. This term will primarily have a Technology focus but we will also look at Explorers as part of our Social Sciences learning. We plan to go to the Otago Museum to learn about Explorers and will also go to Toitu to find out more about different forms of transport that have been invented and found useful throughout history.

Soccer
On Friday Dave and Lewis from Football South came to start teaching us.  We can't wait until next Friday.  We worked on ball control and kicking.
