Here is some home learning from today. The pic collage above was sent in by Fynn. Check out some more of our reading, writing and maths work below. Well done for the effort that you have put in today!




Science Stars - Whakarua 4

Ethaniel and Bren both did something different with their Science Experiments of Tuesday which I thought was cool!

Bren created a whole row of water cups with different food colouring for a rainbow experiment! He took photo's of the process and wrote a detailed scientific observation.





And Ethaniel kept his experiment simple but created an awesome video of the process and wrote a detailed science observation of what he saw. If the video doesn't play then click this link 



Keep up the fantastic work boys! You're setting a great example.
