winter sport

                          Winter Sports

For mostly all of this term and half of last term, we have been ding winter sports. The practices were on most Wednesdays and in the mornings. And the real games were on Friday afternoons. There were lots of choices. There was: Capture the flag, Soccer, Netball, Bowls, And Table tennis. Anika, Lily, Skye and I, chose soccer. Me, Anika and Lily were in the team called Roadrunners and Skye and Mailli were in another team called the Rebles. We had loads of fun kicking the balls around while we waited for the first or second halves to finish. My favorite position was deffence and sometimes goaly.  When we had finished the games, we came back to school for prize giving. I got player of the day 1 or 2 times. I really enjoyed my experience of soccer and doing winter sports. Next year, i might do Netball or try something new. What would you do for winter sports next year? 

2nd Science rotation

Kathys kiawhina have been working with Talei for inquiry and we have been learning about pollution. We had nine sessions and that gave us time to do lots of experiments.

We did the car exhaust experiment(sock over exhaust pipe), air pollution(paper with chapstick on it),melting ice(4 trays, with big ice cubes ad small ones put glad wrap over each one and see which melts fastest).

For the air pollution we had microscopes to put on the ipad and look at the bits of pollution from there. We saw lots of pollen around the little kids classes, some bits of black pollution around where cars come and go to drop off and about the same for the teachers car park.

After we had done the experiments, we watched videos on greenhouse gasses and global warming.
It was a really fun experience learning with Talei and doing the fun experiments and how to keep the earth healthy.
