EOTC Days
07.12.21
Dear Sir,
Thank you for letting us go to Waiari last week.
I loved everything we did during our EOTC days. I enjoyed walking through the forest to Lake Ngatu. We went the wrong way but Alaris’s mum knew the way to go. We had loads of fun in the forest at the lake and at waiari.I enjoyed swimming at Lake Ngatu and eating the ice blocks.
My favorite day was at Waiari. I liked kayaking, snorkeling and swimming. Me, Jackson and Whaea Deb saw four snapper when we were snorkeling. When I got out of the water I was like an ice block, I was a lot warmer when I put dry clothes on. I really enjoyed the delicious burgers.
Thank you again for everything you did to help us on our EOTC days.
From Ryan

Science - Simple Circuits
We are learning about electricity and how to build a simple circuit.
Last Friday me and my class made simple circuits when me and Jaxon were making the cirtcuit we were confused how to make the led glow. We rolled the play dough then split it in two then we got the led light and stuck it in the middle then we hocked the wires up and the light glowed.

Once upon a time there was a witch at school the witch was learning a lot then suddenly she heard a whisper but no one there she looked out the window the playground had vanished. She thought it was a ghost but it wasn't she turned around and a knight was there the witch closed her eyes then opened them the knight had vanished now a class room was missing. Then the witch looked out the window the knight had a wand. He was making everything vanish but the witch still heard the whisper it was in class it was a ghost. The witch picked up her wand and put a spell on the class so everything on the ground will turn invisible . But everything in the air will turn visible the witch found the ghost she put a spell on the ghost and the knight. The spell made them learn and clean up the mess they made.

Two weeks ago my class and te tinana were working on water and gravity. First we got cups then we filled them up with water then we had these ice cream lids cut up into little squares . W put the the ice cream lid on top of the cup then we heald our hands on the ice cream lids and we fliped the cups over and the lid stuck on.
