Cross country training begins

During the last 2 weeks of term and the 1st week of Term 3 Room 9 will join with the rest of the Middle Team to walk either to the Woodhaugh gardens or the University's north ground to train for our Cross country. Feel free to join us as we get fitter and fitter.

The giant's toothpaste



Mrs Forwood became a scientist creating a rather explosive pink creation! 
This made a very interesting motivation for writing!
 She left the recipe behind so if you'd like to try this for yourself 
(Have an adult watch you)- Send me a message:)

Puketeraki Marae visit

Below are some photos of our fabulous trip to Karitane.
Matua Brent did a terrific job of guiding around the marae.
We were officially welcomed during a powhiri ceremony and morning tea followed.
During the rest of the day we took turns at 3 of 4 diffeent activities: poi, flax (harakeke), traditional musical instruments (Nga Taonga Puoro) and long rakau - taiaha skills. The team leading us were very skilled and gracious hosts.





We had a wonderful day - Enjoy the photos
