Junk2Funk

Some of our brave students took part in a local community event, Junk2Funk. Three groups of three students made an ensemble from recycled items. The theme was One World. The first group entitled their work 'Flower Garden', another was 'Habitats' and our last group made a timeline of Earth. Can you guess which is which?

They had an amazing day meeting the judges and parading their outfits on the catwalk.

Matific Competition and Screencastify

The whole class was engaged as we recorded our Matific activities on Screencastify, then added to our blogs. Our school is competing with schools from New Zealand and Australia to become Matific champions.

Lunar Lander

We have been following up on the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Apollo is a name from greek mythology. On the 21st of July 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon. Our challenge was to build a lunar lander from the materials provided, and land it up the right way with our two astronauts  still inside. We broke into teams of four and had to design and build our lander. We simulated our lunar landing  by dropping our spacecraft from the ladder.
