Chinese Language Week

Room11's Post on Tuesday, 13 September 2016

This week is Chinese Language Week. As part of this week we read instructions on how to make Chinese lanterns and worked together to create them. We had some trouble ruling the lines but we persevered and got there.

Arts Festival - Cultural Identity

It was lovely to see so many Parents of Waikowhai School coming to the Arts Festival to view all the wonderful artwork that has been produced by our awesome students. Here is some of Room Eleven's work.

Water Care

Water Care

Last week, Sally from Water Care visited Rooms 10, 11 and 6 and talked to us about looking after our water. When we let things go down into our storm water drains like soap, oil, food and plastics it ends up in our waterways. We have a number of these drains around our school what lead into local waterways.

               

Then it was time to go outside and build our own valleys and rivers with stones and plastic and seeing which group could make the fastest river and the deepest valley.

It is important to pick up our rubbish and not wash paint, oil etc into our storm water drains. This effects all the little creatures living in our waterways.

       

Water Cycle

Last term we had been looking at the water cycle. We identified the main parts of the water cycle and then did some experiments about each part. We also made our own water cycles which we shared at assembly on Friday.
