Cheyenne's 'Give It A Go' and 'I Care' attitude

Cheyenne's mum is doing the Mt Everest challenge, which is to climb Mauao 38 times in 50 days raising funds for the women's refuge league. Cheyenne's been up twice with her so far. They went up Saturday night together where Chey ran the majority of the steps going up and a 12 minute run all the way to the bottom. Her mum says 'she is awesome to take with me because she encourages me when she notices me slowing down behind her.' 

More Amazing Chef's

Making a meal at home is a popular home learning activity.

Amber's Home Learning

Look at this amazing meal Amber made.

Sea Science

Another fantastic House Of Science kit. We learnt about filter feeders. We had some ordinary sea water which we poured into a funnel through some filter paper. The green glitter represents all the goodness that the filter feeder takes out of the water. We then used contaminated water which left green and gold glitter on the filter paper. This demonstrated that if there are pollutants in the water they are still being absorbed by the filter feeder animals. This can mean they are poisonous to humans who then eat them. We also looked at videos of the Rena disaster.

Ellie's Bike Adventure

Ellie had a fantastic bike ride through Karangahake Gorge on Sunday despite not feeling 100%. This is a picture she shared with us for her home learning. Well done Ellie for showing our school value of 'Giving It A Go'.

Dion's Coastal Creation

Dion made an amazing coastal creation for his home learning from shells he collected at Waihi Beach. He made it with his mum and used a drill to make holes in the shells - unfortunately some broke. He then hung it in the Elf Tree.

I Care - School Value

We have been focussing on our school values particularly - I Care. We have been learning what it takes to be friendly.
Here is a saying that we have been repeating every day.

I am friendly

Today I will smile and say hello to other people

I will share myself and show interest in others

I like myself and I know I can make new friends
