WDS Cross Country

We have been practicing for weeks for our own WDS Cross Country, and the Taieri Schools Cross Country being held next week. 
This week we had a lovely winter's day for our race. The sun was shining and we had many parents along to support & cheer for the children. One of our parents was brave and fit enough to run with the children! We all noticed the commitment, effort, and encouragement for others shown by the children.

Museum Trip Rock Solid

Last week we had a great trip to the Otago Museum and took part in two programmes. The first programme was rock solid where we watched our Museum teacher, Kate show us how to make a volcano with food colouring ,baking soda and vinegar. 



Our teacher Kate makes a print in sand from Dorothy's hand and then pours in 'plaster of paris' to show how a fossil would be made millions of years ago.

In the second programme we found out from our museum teacher, Kim that ancient vases told stories. She told us an exciting story about a vase. Then we looked at the other vases and made up our own stories!

We were put into all sorts of animal groups. In this activity one person had to kick the round ball and then run and get it and put it back on the cone.

This is James and this photo turns him into "Super James"!

Our Finished Bodies

Room One made bodies because Mrs Lunn decided to make some bodies and dress them in fabric. Mrs Lunn did them as part of our work in Art,Health & Maori.
