Week 7

Week 7

Monday we had a very interesting visit from Mark- who works with the animals at Rainbow Springs. We learnt a lot from him, and the students asked some great questions.

Kronkiwongi- we have a few students who have taken up the challenge of building a Kronkiwongi. Initially we used the Kronkiwongi so the students could create better questions-and then get better information when they were writing their information reports.  

As an aside- Lego is running a competition to build a Kronkiwongi. We will take photos of the designs this week. 

We had a great day on Friday- the Wacky Hair designs were great. I was impressed at how much trouble people had gone to. Congratulations to Lily for winning with her fantastic creation. 

Lily's Wacky Hair Design- you might not be able to see- but she has a bird sitting in a cage on her head.

Our Golden Time Options are going really well. The students have loved being able to get together with students from other classes in the Middle School, and I think it is really helping build us as a team. On Friday the students could either design their own Predator Trap, or design a nest for an egg in the Eggstraordinaire Challenge. Check out the photos on the post below. 

Congratulations to Molly and Gargi for being winners of the Healthy Lunch Design Competition.
