Warren the Entomologist

We had a great time with Warren Chinn, an Entomologist. He came in and talked about spiders and answered our questions. He even brought in a (very) grumpy weka for us to look at!

We are going to make some Kites.

We are designing kites to make. We have been learning about what kites do. Kites can be used for celebrating, having, fishing, scaring people, making bridges and surf boarding.

Today we also did the cross country run. We did some dynamic stretches. Dynamic means moving!

What have we been doing with Toby?

Over the last few weeks Toby and the class have been working on some really cool Science and ICT ideas. We started out by looking at how to use a digital camera - making sure we kept it safe - and then we took some photos. After we did this, we reflected upon the photos we took and tried to work out what made some of them interesting and some of them not so interesting.

In Science, we have been looking at how scientists complete experiments. We have been making predictions and then testing these ideas out. We used ice and explored the ideas of changing states from solid to liquid to gas.
