Hutt Indoor Sports Centre Trip

Yesterday we went on a trip to Hutt Indoor Sports Centre. We played lots of games and were all very tired when we got back to school at the end of the day.
A special BIG thank you to all the parent helpers who came and helped us.

Flax Weaving

We were lucky to have a visit from Jolie from the Dowse Gallery today.

Jolie told us a story about Papatuanuku, Ranginui and their children. She then shared with us how to harvest flax (harakeke) and finally how to make a flax taniwha.

Calendar art

We have finished our calendar art. We think it looks amazing.




Skittles

Today we put some skittles around a plate. Next we poured some hot water on the plate. The colours on the skittles started to dissolve and made a pattern. It looked amazing!

Enviro Day

On Wednesday we had a really fun day. It was Normandale Schools very first Enviro Day.
We started by looking at an electric car and comparing it to a 'normal' car. Can you see the differences? Do you know which car is the electric car?



Next we got into Whanau groups and did different activities.

We made beeswax sandwich wrappers, playdough, bags from an old tshirt, and some yummy things we could put in our lunch boxes - bliss balls, popcorn and hummus and veges.















Can you work out what is happening in each of the pictures?
