June 13

Today when we started to do our handwriting about 1pm, we all "experienced" a 5.5 aftershock.  We all got under the desks and waited while our relocatable stopped shaking.  We all went out onto the field with everyone else.  We all remembered not to yell and upset other people. We are all OK. Our Mums, Dads and extended families came to pick us up from school.  When nearly everyone had gone, about 2.20pm we had a bigger aftershock, we all sat down on the cricket pitch. 

Here are some photos of what it looks like round our school.  It is all rather wet! We are all safe which is the main thing.  And guess what? That spelling is going to get marked.

Don't forget to look after one another and have lots of hugs.

Discovery Time

In our Discovery Time we learnt about what "matter" is. Everything is made up of matter, solids, liquids, gases, plasmas and a newer matter called Boise Einstein.  We did an experiment to show how polymers wraped around a skewer to stop the water coming out of a zipper bag.

Saving money

Our personal trainer Holly made us think about how we could earn money and we did a chore bootcamp.

Inquiry Treasures

Some people really treasure heanaed hands.  We enjoyed making our own heanaed hands. 

Saving Money

Holly came and talked to us about looking after our money and how important it is to spend some for you and save some for later. She said that saving is like training. The earlier you start the better you do. So spend some on you and save some too.
