Our Learning - Term 3, Week 2

We have had a really busy week this week in Rimu Learning Hub. Our focus has been on Friendships and Harold and the Life Education truck came to visit us. We talked about being an upstander, what makes a good friend and that it is ok to have more than one group of friends. In our learning, we have had a Friendship Choice Board which has included songs, making friendship bracelets and making biscuits for our friends.

Term 3 - We're Back!

Great to see most of our class back at School today!

We have started off with a bang, with Swim for Life lessons at Enterprise Pool.  These lessons are to help us become stronger swimmers and learn some valuable skills that could be used in survival situations around water. We will continue these lessons for the whole term.

The Great Egg Drop Challenge!

Our last STEM Challenge of the term was the Great Egg Drop Challenge! Our aim was to protect our egg when it was dropped from a big height - we didn't want any Humpty Dumptys! We worked in pairs to plan our design, work out what we needed and who was going to bring it and then we made our designs at school.

Finally on Friday, we tested our designs out with Mr Poole's help.  Check out the video to find out the fate of our eggs...
