The day we saw a motorbike!
Mr Jacob brought his motorbike to show Aroha Syndicate. We had fun learning about motorbike safety, looking at his helmet, gloves and special riding boots. We learned how a motorbike works including a few lucky children who got to start the bike! Mr Jacob answered lots of questions such as ‘How fast does your bike go?’ ‘How long did you practise before you could ride your bike?’ It was a great experience!
Sound Science
Tuesday 20, November Arohanui was so blessed to be able to welcome Kane Raukura, Ajinesh Kumar and Ranita Spencer from De La Salle College’s Science faculty.
Our three visiting scientists took our learners through three different sound related workshops. What an awesome opportunity for our children.
Thank you to the fabulous teachers of De La Salle College.
Room 4a leading assembly
Room 4a led a whole class assembly. Natasha read our opening Karakia and many of us shared a piece of writing. At the end all of us sang Te Atua. We were super nervous but…we were very proud of standing up and presenting to the whole school!
Meeting a lamb!
Aroha Syndicate were excited to meet a real life lamb! We heard from Mrs Green’s son about how he cared for and raised the lamb. We learned how he is fed and kept warm. It was so exciting to touch the lamb and feel how soft she was! We also saw some of the tricks she can do, for example how she can hear your voice and follow it. It was so much fun!
