Week 11

Happy Holidays everyone!
It has been a fun and busy term and week 11 was no exception. Our trip to the Water treatment station was very informative and I was really impressed with the insightful questions the students asked. So was Malcolm Rae, from Fulton Hogan, who showed us his work.

Then we walked along the river bank to get to know our very own Mata-Au better. We saw where it splits in two and becomes the Matau and the Koau branches.

Grateful thanks to Mrs Goodwin, Mr Thompson, Mrs Rose and Grandma who accompanied us. 

This week we received our postcards from our partner school in Tauranga. It was great to unpack our parcel and get to know other year 5 and 6 students in New Zealand. 

Speaking of unpacking, we also unpacked our water cycle experiment, and discovered that the sun had indeed made our dirty water evaporate, condensate and the precipitate as clean water. 

And finally - thank you to all the families and grandparents who came to make our Grandparents' day a special day.
