Fire Safety

Fire Safety

This term Te Waharua are learning about 'Fire Safety'.

We have learnt about...

• Safe and unsafe fire
• Tools and toys
• Matches, candles and lighters
• Stop, drop and roll
• Get out, stay out, well done
• Get down, get low, get out and yell FIRE,FIRE, FIRE
• Evacuation plans
• Ring 111

We were lucky enough to have the fire service visit. The firemen read us a story about what to do in a fire and answered our questions. Afterward we were allowed to go and see the fire truck. It was great, because we got to have a go with the fire hose!

SHOW TIME!

School Production

Last night Waikanae School had their 'Show Time' Production at the Memorial Hall. It was a a wonderful day! The children and teachers put on two shows. The night time performance was sold out! Room 2 did a dance to 'Cotton Eye Joe'. It was amazing. 

What a great production, we all had an amazing time!

Balance Robots

Balance Robots

During our science experiment we learnt about gravity, center of gravity and forces.

We had lots of fun balancing our robots on all kinds of surfaces...even Mr Bunny!!

GLOW STICKS!

GLOW STICKS

Yesterday Room 2 did a science experiment using glow sticks. 

We had both hot and cold water in separate cups. 

First we tested the temperature of the water using thermometres. 

We then cracked our glow sticks. 

Then we put the glow sticks into the cold and warm water to see the different reactions. 

We learnt that the glow sticks are glow brighter in the warm water. 

The glow sticks were quite dim in the cold water and lost their energy. 

It was fun playing and experimenting.

Bubbles!

BUBBLES

We had lots of fun playing with bubbles! 

We learnt about why we can see rainbow colours on the outside of a bubble. 

Colours are created by white light from the sun reflecting off objects.

Kakariki

KAKARIKI GREEN!!!

Yesterday the whole of Waikanae School came together on the turf. We were meeting because we were introducing our new school houses- Kahurangi-blue, kowhai-yellow, whero-red and kakariki-green. Each class is part of a house. Room 2, 16,5,9 are all part of Kakariki- Green house. We dressed up in our house colour and practiced our chant. It was great to see everyone getting into the spirit of the house events. We started it off with a tug of war challenge, a basketball shoot off and then a buzz quiz. Kakariki at the end of the house competitions end up in 3rd place! 

Have a look at our awesome house!
