A 'Wheelie' fun way to end the term!
The whole school had a fantastic 'Wheels Day' in the final week of term. Here are some Te Kinga students in action!

Exploring our world - some very fun lessons to complete our Geology Studies...
Volcanoes are always popular when it comes to geology. In this experiment we learned about the difference between Caldera and Cone Volcanoes. We discovered that one explodes and one implodes - can you tell which is which?
We also used the Mohs scale (measures hardness) to test everyday objects and the rocks in our collection. We also used computational thinking chart to rate the hardness of everyday objects.
We also had a fun time using magnets and discovered that planet earth is one giant magnet!
Finally we explored the different types of tectonic boundaries by creating tectonic pancakes! We created faults, mountain ranges and subduction zones before gobbling them down!
