Aaron,Wiremu,Nathan- erosion challenge

DESTROYED IN MINUTES!!!

We start building.

We add a moat.

We look proudly at our finished project.

We look at other groups ideas.

We got a sprinkle on our house, it didn't do much. 

A down pour hit our house and made a sink hole.

Overall we were pleased with some of our design ideas but if we did it again we would put some stilts under the house to hold it on the hill. We would also put a channel in the sand to stop the water from damaging the sand around our house. 

Road Safety J Walking

We learnt about road safety at school and made these videos with the I pads. This video is about using footpaths. 

Hockey Tournament

On Thursday, the 11^th of July Harvey, Wiremu, Callum, Rowan, Aaron, Nathan, Stevie and Holly went to the Hockey Tournament in Milton at Milton Primary School’s field. Their team name was the Waihola Terminators. The team worked together, and won the tournament. They played against a team from Waitahuna in the finals, and bet them, 6-2 points! It was an exhilarating day which had everybody puffing by the time they got back to school.                          By Holly                12.7.13

Room 2 Blog experts work with junior children

Aaron, Stevie & Alex received some individual training from Anne K then worked with junior class children to help them post their own work to the BLOG. It is great to see our senior students developing their own levels of expertise and then working as peer tutors to others.  Check out the new R1 posts for today.
