Animal Welfare On Farms.

We have started our inquiry learning about Dairy Farming in NZ and decided 

this video about animal welfare on the farms was a great starting point.

Check it out and see what you think.

ANZAC Ceremony T1 Video

Thank you Room 10 for videoing our ANZAC Parade.

End Of Term ANZAC Parade.

 We finished our school term with a special ANZAC Day Parade. The whole school and some parents attended it before we went on holiday.

 Sebastian was our flag bearer. It's a great honour to be chosen as a class representative for something like this.

The crosses were guarded by our flag bearers throughout the ceremony. It was a time to reflect before we left for our holiday.

More ANZAC Soldiers than First Thought-By Gloria

Nearly twice the number of New Zealand soldiers served at Gallipoli in the first world war than first thought.  More soldiers arrived later on.  

More than 16,000 soldiers served at Gallipoli, rather than 8556 in 1919 documents. The discovery in January of old notebooks  detail the movements of Australian and New Zealand soldiers in 1915.

Science Experiments With Room 12

Finding out how to do these experiments together.

As part of our collaborative learning we spent one day a week for the last three weeks working with Room 12 on some science experiments.

Trying out what we decided to do in our work groups.

We had an aim, a hypothesis, a method and a result for each one. Our experiments were trying to make a lava lamp, a volcano and to see what happens when we add food colouring and dish washing liquid to milk.

A volcano erupts successfully 

It was hard work finding out how to do these experiments but once we all pitched in and shared our thoughts and ideas we were successful.
