Come and read our fabulous e-book.

We have written a fantastic book. Have a look & enjoy.

Magnets

 

Try making an electromagnet.  Having an adult around to help would be a good idea. Read the instructions carefully.

 

Can you make this work?  What do you need?

  

Try this experiment.

What questions do you have?

Watch this video to learn a little about magnets.

How does this experiment work? Can you make it and explain it to a friend?

Can you test the strength of different magnets by doing this experiment?  

How will you show the results?

Learning to comment

Hi Nate and Harrison I am so impressed the way you have gone and got a dictionary to help you with your spelling. Amazing team work. From Mrs Candy

Singing

We are singing 'Kea, Kea' at assembly.

Monday afternoon

How do we learn in the Matai Hub during action stations?

Our wharenui

We are learning about the wharenui on a Marae. After talking about the different parts, we went and tried making our own structure with all kinds of materials.

Skipping

We are learning to skip on the spot in the Matai hub, and to try several different moves. Can you skip with us at home? It is great for developing our coordination.

How to help...
   (beginners): Use a piece of long rope. Remind us how to hold the skipping rope, move it over our heads THEN jump. Our feet should be glued together when we jump.
 
All levels
 - Have a skipping competition with us - who can skip for the longest?
 - Put on some cool music in the background (we added 'Battlefield' by Jordin Sparks to this)
 - Google 'Jump Rope for Heart Skipping Videos' to get inspired with some different moves.

Our inquiry projects

Here are the inquiry projects that were created. Please remember that we are still learning, so not all information is completely accurate. This work shows what the 'take-away' from our inquiry unit was.
