Hank finds an Eggs

Today we wrote the solution for Hank's problem. Hank found an egg in the forest and he wanted to return it back to it's nest. See Brooklyn, Eliott and Summer's great solutions!

Hank found an egg so ... He tried to get it up to the nee in the tree but he couldn't because it was too high. He pulled a flax leaf off a bush and he lassoed the egg to its nest.

Kangaroo dot art

Last week we read the traditional tale How the Kangaroo got its tail.

We painted our own beautiful kangaroos using dot art. We talked about which colours would be best and how traditionally Aboriginal Dot Art would've been created.

Te Manawa created some amazing art and we are all proud of our efforts.

Parachutes

Today we made our parachutes 

We observed which parachute worked the best, one with the biggest or smallest surface area. 

How does a parachute work?

Te Manawa are learning about how a parachute works.

This morning we made a prediction about which parachute would work the best - the one with the smallest or biggest surface area.
You can see our video predictions on the blog.

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Te Manawa went down to the beach and flew our kites that we made as part of our flight inquiry.
We had lots of parent helps which made repairing and untangling kites so much easier.

We all had so much fun flying kites! For lots of us it was the first time flying a kite but we all got really good at the end.  Ieuan and Aspen got their kites up so high that we couldn't even see the pictures anymore and Charlie got his so high that it was using all the string to fly!

Lots of people on the Esplanade stopped and watched us and some even helped when our kites got a bit stuck on the rocks.

Thank you Greer for the great photos.
