Half way through Term 4, already!

It is already half way through Term 4!  I am not sure where the time has gone, obviously we have been very busy!
Are learning programmes have continued to run smoothly this term.

The students are particularly enjoying the continuation of our Inquiry around Rockets.  We have made balloon car rockets, vinegar and baking soda rockets and as an end project we are making water bottle rockets!
It is fantastic to see the students so engaged and enthusiastic about building their rockets, not realising the great discussion and learning that is taking place through the process of designing, testing and launching.  I can't wait to see how they go!

The students are busy completing an artwork to be displayed at prizegiving.  The artwork is based around an artwork by Julia Sanderl.  The students have made a clay tile that will be the centre piece on a painted canvas background.  The students have used maori art designs as inspiration for their artwork.
The are working hard to make them be the best that they can be.
