Room 6

Well done to all those involved in this year's Science Fair.  Thank you to all the whanau for the support you gave your tamariki in creating their entries.  We received 3 prizes: Holly Robertson got 4th in show, Sam Knapton & Robert Harrison received the prize for best poster and Oakura School won $500 for the most entries (pro-rated).  

This term we are all getting an opportunity to teach Mrs Salisbury something.  Week 9: We had two lots of Teach the Teacher this week, one on Thursday and one on Friday.  Thursday's champions were Duncan (card trick), Sophie (Eiffel Tower in string) and Jessie teaching me to make yummy tortilla chips.  Yum! Week 8:  What fun we had today with Oliver teaching us how to make hummus with peanut butter and not tahini, Benjamin taught Mrs Salisbury how to throw a card and have it cut through paper (very cool!) and lastly Rory taught Mrs Salisbury how to rugby tackle......yes, it 's true......rugby tackle.....ask your tamariki about it! Week 7: Brody demonstrated a fun science trick as above.  It shows that when the air pressure exerted on the card from underneath is greater than the weight of water inside the glass the card holds the water up - cool trick!  Leon tried to teach Mrs Salisbury to do the floss (sorry Leon!), Emosi (modelling a hat) taught

Last week we had three of our students attend the North Island Ski Champs.  Benjamin was one of them.  He showed us lots of his photos and a couple of video's of him skiing.  He was really pleased with his result of coming 50th out of 150!
