Science in School

These first few weeks of science have been fantastic.  In order for the kids to have a taster of lots of different kinds of science, the teachers have designed a series of lessons around Living World, Material World, Physical World and Planet Earth and Beyond.

The first few lessons we have undertaken have been looking at skeletons and their purpose.  We were lucky enough to have Tracey, Matua Wayne's wife; who is a physiotherapist, visit our hub to talk through the purpose of our skeleton and look at models of some of our bones and joints.

Our students asked some wonderful questions and we were really impressed with the depth of their knowledge so far.  Many of the students have since been working on extension tasks that demonstrate their understanding of the purpose of other supporting structures, such as exoskeletons and building framework too!

 From this, they collaboratively created slides.  Congratulations to the groups below, which produced outstanding slides about their learning.
