"Science On Wheels" day...
We had great fun today thinking about how forces work when we are having fun with bikes, scooters and roller blades. We even investigated how forces work with our bodies when bouncing balls and twirling a hula hoop around our body.
We thought it was amazing how there are so many forces around us in the normal things we do every day, but we don't usually think about them much.
We learnt cool new words such as gravity, friction and resistance.
Here are some photos of us checking out forces in a FUN way!!!

To the parents/caregivers of Ara Pakeke students in Rooms 7, 8 and 9
Welcome back after another holiday break The year is flying past.
This term the teachers in Rooms 7, 8 and 9 are continuing to collaborate in the learning process. This involves grouping children into three classes based on their learning needs in writing as well as reading. In week 1 of this term teachers will meet with students to prepare them for the transition to another classroom during both these times.
Collaborative teaching aligns with the Ministry of Education who support an innovative learning environment that evolves and adapts in order to remain future focused. If you wish to find out more about this initiative please go to http://elearning.tki.org.nz/Teaching/Innovative-learning-environments
Kind Regards
Classroom Teachers (Rooms 7, 8 and 9)
