Easter Treats

 
At the end of the term we made 3D easter eggs with crayons and to celebrate a fab term we all got a bunny rabbit easter egg.
Thank you for an excellent Term 1, I can't wait for term 2


Term 1 Super Stars!

George and Hunter - raincoat challenge



Awa Technology Challenge

Children were split into 4 rooms and had to complete a task on behalf of their awa (house groups).
They were a shelter to hold one child during an emergency, a backpack strong enough to hold a book, a stretcher strong enough to carry 50kgs and a raincoat that was shower proof.
BUT.... the catch was all of these things had to be made with newspapers, celloptape, some had string and some had plastic bags.  So a lot of team work and problem solving was needed for this.
It was a great morning.
