Jurassic Park!

This afternoon we started watching the movie 'Jurassic Park'.
It fits in with our topic 'Memory Bones'
It was really interesting because one of our reading groups was reading an article called 'Fossil Seekers' about three famous Paleontologists (Mary Anning, Jack Horner and Barnum Brown) Jack Horner actually worked on the movie 'Jurassic Park' to make sure the dinosaurs in the movie were as realistic as possible.
We'll be watching for his name in the credits when we finish watching it on Friday.

We made Resin (Amber) Fossils out of jelly.

We'll eat them during the movie...

Cross Country

What a fantastic time we had at Rabbit Island today! The weather was perfect and our Year 5/6 students were raring to go. You were all amazing. Ms Hampson and Mrs Trolle are very proud of all of your hard work and effort over the past 5 weeks of training. Everyone finished the course and felt a great sense of achievement. 

Well done Kereru and Kotuku!

Zumba!

What a great way to finish off the week! We all really enjoyed our Zumba session and had a lot of fun!
