Science Fair Success!
Last week 3 of our Year 6 students came second in the John Paul Science Fair in Greymouth! In Term 2 they entered with their investigation in to diffusion with tea bags (part of their Innovations and Inventions of War topic). Well done on this outstanding achievement!
Topic in Term 3...
This term our topic is Ngā Rarangi Wā - Timelines. In this study we are looking at a certain period of time in our local history....our study is about the Otira Tunnel which turns 100 on August 4th! We will also look around our local area at other sorts of tunnels but for now we are focussed on this major development for the Midland Line railway and for our region...
