Science Fair Day

On Friday we had our big science fair day. We all made science projects for the science fair. We were all waiting to see who came first, second & third. We learnt that when you do something for a science fair make sure that it is clear to read, it has scientific language and you have a good AIM. The whole school came into the whare to see our science projects. Mrs lindsay (our principal) & Danielle who is a Marine Biologist and the twins mum were our judges. When the teachers were announcing the winners we all went silent & crossed our fingers. I think next time we will start earlier so we have more time to carry out our investigation.

Science fair

This term we have been doing science . We have been learning how to carry out a scientific investigation. Our investigation was to find out what area of the school catches the most rats. We learnt that if you have a big scientific investigation you should start early so that you have a enough time to catch rats and also that you have a lot of data. What I found really challenging was to write the method and the hypothesis down. I enjoyed catching a rat and making our slide show. We also had to make a slideshow, this is my groups.

The NED show

Today at Paihia school we had a very special lady come to Paihia School named Nicole. She came to our school to teach us all about mindset and what NED means. We found out that N means never give up, the E stands for encourage others & the D stands for do your best. She gave us a lot of messages like, let go of I know so that you can learn and grow., do your best, never give & keep trying.

Rippa Rugby

Last week some of the kids in Te Ngahere and Te Maunga went to a very existing event in Hikurangi to play Rippa Rugby. I was one of the kids that got the opportunity to got to Hikurangi and play Rippa Rugby. What I enjoyed the most was when we got told that we were in the finals. But what I didn’t enjoy was when we got told that they counted the points wrong and that we got pulled out of the finals. We learnt that we need to spread out and move forward and back more, but mainly share the ball.
