Marble runs.

                                                         Marble Runs 
For the last two weeks, we have been making marble runs and machines. We are trying to include simple machines as in; pulleys, levers, ramps, screws,   and many more. Most of us have almost finished and are collecting data now.  We will use this for the science fair. We can work with a younger buddy from Room three or on all own. We can have much as stuff as we want. We will be presenting these at science fair at the end of term. By Hannah  & Willow

hydrolics and science fair

HYDRAULICS
in the Indigo Room, we have been learning about Hydraulics and science. Last week and the week before we have been making Lifting Jacks. Indigo Room and Room three made them in buddies, not many of people have finished yet but we will finish them. 

SCIENCE FAIR
Last week and this week we have also been designing our science fair  project. Indigo Room and Room three are making marble tracks or making a simple machine that can move a marble. We also need to make a board about all the data that we collected. All of us are coming up with amazing designs and they are all going to look really cool when they are finished.

Rippa Tournament (yr 5-6)

On Tuesday the 6th of June 2017, the year 5-6 girls and boys that play rippa went to a rippa tournament.

The people that went were Mila, Tawn, Lauren, Hannah, Riley, Henry H, Jordan, Liam, Pipiri and Louie, and the subs were Isla and Jacob. We all hope that they do really well and represent our school.

It would be really cool if they won, but they still would have tried really hard if they didn’t win. They trained lots and did lots of hard work to be a good team and work together as a good team.

We all wish them the best. Ngatimoti won the social rippa tournament.
