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.

Class Trip To Museum And Virtual Limits

   Class Trip To Museum And Virtual Limits

On Wednesday the Indigo room and room three kids went to the museum and Virtual Limits Wall in Nelson. We where split into two groups, one group went to the museum first and the other group went to Virtual Limits, it was a really fun class trip.

On the way into town the bus broke down and one of the revision mirrors broke off, so the bus was 30 minutes late. One of  the activities at the museum was to build a small, wooden bridge, every group completed it.

Indigo Room got learning books called Brainy Bunch, that help us learn about the body. We also got stickers from Harold. We got to see Harold and he is just a puppet. He tells us jokes to us every time.

 Every year Ngatimoti School along with lots of other schools and community's lay a wreath in remembrance of the people that died in war, mainly WORLD WAR TWO and WORLD WAR TWO, because they were the biggest wars that have ever happened in the world.

Ninety one countries fought in WORLD WAR ONE and 101 countries fought in WORLD WAR TWO.
