Last term some of us were lucky enough to go to Otehei Bay with Project Island Song. We had a great day learning about how they trap pests to protect the native birds on the islands around the Bay of Islands (Ipipiri). Here are a couple of movies the children made after the trip.

On Wednesday we had our school Science Fair. The children have worked very hard over the last 3 weeks to learn about Science Investigations and the Scientific Method. They chose their own investigation questions and planned a fair test to complete on their chosen topic. They learnt about the importance of having constants and a variable when carrying out a fair test. Check out our individual blogs for reflections on our learning.
Here are our finished Science Investigation boards.
Here are some photos of us sharing our learning at Science Fair.
