ASB Sports Centre

The whole school had a trip to the ASB Sports Centre today. What a wonderful time we had! We tried our hand at netball skills, athletics and floorball (a little like unihoc) I'm sure we'll all sleep well tonight! Many thanks to Luke's mum and Nikora's dad for coming with us :)

100 Days of School!

We have been at school for 100 days this year so we had to celebrate! Joining in with Rooms 1,2 and 3 we had fun making 100 styled glasses, creating pictures of what we might look like when we are old, exploring patterns, the 100s chart, and finding 100 things in nature.

We love singing in Room 4! Here is one of our favourites - Ma te Mahi Ka Ora

Marshmallow Shooters - Force and Motion!

We couldn't look into force and motion without making Marshmallow shooters - and this is something you've got to try at home as well!

You need: a paper cup, a balloon, sellotape, and plenty of mini marshmallows!

First cut the bottom off a paper cup











Next, cut the end off the balloon














Tie a knot in the balloon and stretch it over the bottom of the cup. Secure the balloon to the cup with some sellotape.
















Now have some fun! Place a marshmallow in your shooter, hold the top of the cup with a couple of fingers, aim, pull back on the balloon and fire!

Measure how far you can go and let us know in the comments below.
