Space Inquiries

After the class visited the Te Awamutu Space Centre, they looked at an aspect of Planet Earth and Beyond - Space, that interested them. They could work collaboratively or independently and had to present their inquiry findings to the class. Skills used were: information gathering and sorting, referencing, putting information into own words, finding suitable illustrations or videos to help with explanations. Here are their presentations and videos they selected:

  Phases of the Moon

  Eclipses:

Tides:

  The Space Station, Black Holes, Galaxies and Comets

Mars, Apollo 13 and Day and Night:

Cup Cake Day 2016

 Cup Cake Day - held every year at this time and organised by our very dedicated Teacher Aide Mrs Neho. She dedicates hours to the making of cupcakes, setting up the hall, motivating students to bring along their cupcakes and supervises the selling of them.
It wouldn't happen without her. The grand sum of $871 was raised for the local SPCA.  
Room 10's supported well, especially Antony, Isla and Taylah who made cupcakes. 

A whole new galaxy discovered...

The planets have been discovered - some in very interesting ways, they contain some weird and wonderful creatures and the local newspapers reported on the arrival of the Room 10 'aliens.'

Planet X

As part of the class Space study, we created imaginary planets.

We 'discovered' these. they were made, named and painted, then some imaginative writing was done...
