This week we are designing marble runs using cardboard and glue guns. By making these runs they are learning about gravitational force and friction and how they affect the speed an object moves. Sounds technical?? Ask your child about it.









CLASS PHOTOS:
Order forms for class photos have been given out. Please ask your child if you have not received your envelope from them yet.

ARTS ROTATION:
Today was our first day of the Puriri Arts Rotation. Each Tuesday we will focus on a different Arts strand. For Week 2 and 3 Room 8 will focus on Drama. Click on the links below to view some clips I took of the groups being a "fried breakfast".
