Water and Colour Experiment

Room 6 had a great time, enjoying our first experiment with water and colour. We all had a very good look like good scientists do!

We left them overnight and the next morning we found that we made secondary colours again after we had done our wonderful 'Colour Wheel'. The water 'walked up' the paper towel and got into the middle cup, creating the secondary colour. Fun! :)

SPCA

We had a very exciting visit from Merryn and Richard from SPCA, Canterbury. We learnt what SPCA means and what they do. We also learnt that animals need the things that people need as well; like love, water, food, shelter, friends/family and exercise.

WIG Wednesday

Yesterday the students of TPS participated in 'Wig Wednesday' to raise awareness for kids with cancer and here is what we looked like in Room 6. Awesome effort everyone! :)

MATARIKI

Last week, we learnt about Matariki and Karen taught us a waiata as well! What a great afternoon!

"Shine A Light"

A few weeks ago, we all watched "Shine A Light". We enjoyed that afternoon and talked about the lesson that we learnt from that production.

We visited some countries!

We made our passports and visited Japan, China, Sri Lanka and South Korea!

In those countries, we learnt many things about them, then we completed our "Compare and Contrast Map".

  

Shodo Experience

Room 4, 5, 6 and 15 had a Japanese student this week. She showed us "Shodo", Japanese olden days writing. She used an ink-dipped brush to create Japanese charaters on a special piece of paper and the star or legend of the day from each class had their name done in Japanese!
