Our science experiment

Totara class is doing an experiment using bread to see how much germs grow.  We started this experiment 2 weeks ago. 




After 1 week Georgie took this photo of the bread slices.  There is white mold/germs growing. 


I wonder what they will look like when we are allowed to go back to school after the lockdown?

School kit #Get NZ writing

This term we opened up the parcel from school kit.  

It was called get NZ writing...  We found these cool 3D glasses and some other paperwork which did not make sense (we had to put on the glasses to try and read it....)

First the whole class wrote poems about something naught we had done... we called them our naughty poems.

Then we had to make our way from Fielding all the way to Oruaiti using google maps, this was really interesting as we found heaps of cool place names around Aotearoa.  

This was our poem that we produced together in Totara class.
You probably need some 3D glasses to read it all.

Fern Flat Pottery trip - By Colin Kerehoma

On Thursday Totara class went on a trip to the fern flat pottery place it was a long way to fern flat when we arrived there we had morning tea it was cool there they had grape vine lemon tree and a water fountain.
After that they showed us the showroom that had heaps of clay designs we all looked around in the showroom at the clay then we get to make our own clay but we made clay pigs we rolled it up into a ball same size as a ping pong ball. 
next we mad a round hole in the middle like a bowl.
We also add the legs the snout and the tail and tusk if we want to add tusks when we all were done we had lunch and got to play we all got our bags and said thank you. 
we were going to go for a swim at the swimming hole but we were late it was shallow so we jumped in the pool and had a swim.
The pool was cold when we first jumped in but manuka came and warmed up the pool.
We all jumped out and went in class and it was time for hometime here is some pictures at fern flat pottery.
