Mr Cuddles faces surgery

 Mr Cuddles underwent surgery before school on Tuesday in the Room 3 Operating Theatre.  We are happy to report that he has made a full and speedy recovery.

The medical team suspected infected neck tissue.

Better out than in!

Hannah C checks vital signs - everything AOK.

Ethan administered anaesthetic in bear size amounts.

Diseased cranial tissue had to be removed from a lesion in the brain.

Two days later, and Mr Cuddles had made a full recovery.

Pathologists examined the brain tissue to determine the cause of illness.

We had to find all the ghosts hidden in the picture.

Weka Day Camp - cooking sausages over an open fire

You can see how the cooking circle got its name!

Adan and Ben did a magnificent job

Teagan, Celia and Cheyanne waited patiently for their sausage to brown.

Tastes especially good when you have cooked it yourself!

Technology challenge

 

 

Mr Lomas tries out Jeffrey's catapult

Popstick catapults rule!

We visited Room 8 to see them raise flags using pulleys.

We used all sorts of materials, even chopsticks!

We checked out other designs during the Technology Challenge

Will the catapult power the pompoms over the river?

Winter Maths

Can you guess what number we skip counted up to?

We are learning to skip count in fives using gloves.  First we count up, then we count back - that's the hard part because you have to take your glove off very quickly as the class counts back to zero!

Primary Science Week

Jordan measured his rocket shape carefully.

We used a straw to propel our rockets through the air.

Gloop . . . is it solid or liquid?

This was a hair raising experiment for Rebeca!

Karissa, Jacob and Ganujan races their balloon rocket cars.

We cut out paper flowers.  When we placed them in water the petals unfolded as water made the cells in the paper swell.

We did lots of experiments during Primary Science Week.  Some people participated in the Science Selfie challenge and uploaded a photo or video of the balloon rocket car they had made at home.  We looked at all the Science Selfies on the CBS Face Book page.
