Dry Ice - Science vs Magic

What an exciting day of learning!  The children were encouraged to wonder and ask questions throughout the dry ice experiments. It was great to observe such wonderful deep thinking, scaffolding and questioning grow over the series of experiments.

Our dry ice experiments kicked off our Term 4 Inquiry into Science versus Magic, called "Are you for Real?" We look forward to the next few weeks as the children begin to pursue their own area of passion through a structured process of Inquiry.

Time Lapse trip to Optimist Yachting

Thanks Manu and Hayley for your fabulous camerawork

Optimist Yachting

It's a shame the weather wasn't kind to us, but at least we managed to get in some optimist yachting and kayaking!

Here are some pics from the few days we got onto the water.

Optimist Yachting

Next week we are heading off to Pandora Pond for Optimist Yachting.  This is a great opportunity for our children and they will achieve a lot over the 4 days.

In class we are preparing for this EOTC so when we get to the water we are ready to go! Check out our blog over the next few days.

Here's a clip from the Hawkes Bay Optimist Yacht Trust to get us started.
