Book Week – “Medieval Days”
Despite the disruption caused by rostering home, Reading Week still brought a sense of fun and creativity to the school. The “Medieval Days” theme inspired some staff and students to dress up on Friday — one Teacher Aide even adorned a full suit of armour. The week concluded with a human chess match on Friday lunchtime, which was certainly a highlight. Thank you to Mr Daniels for his organisation and enthusiasm, and to everyone who contributed to making the week such an enjoyable celebration of reading.
Year 7 and 8 Science
. The 7s and 8s have been taking part in the nationwide Wonder Challenge. This year we have been investigating our household water. We have looked at the water cycle and where our water comes from, and then worked out how to clean our water ready for it to enter our homes, schools, hospitals and other buildings. We have designed reticulation systems (right) which take the cleaned water from storage and shares it out amongst customers, and (left) Cloud and Tui have made a diorama for all the classes to look at that shows the water cycle.
