2016 Reflection:

Today, John & I collaborated on a creating a reflection about 2016 ( But also with LS2). In this reflection, we've worked hard to find photos of everyone who have been with in this fun ( But educational) journey. 

Labyrinth

For the beginning two days of the week, we've watched a movie about the Labyrinth. This movie, is all about time but also imagination. Sarah ( the Protagonist) accidentally sends her brother to the Goblin City. She spends most of the movie going through challenges. 

Rockets

Today,  LS2 had their second full day at Tamaki College to create Rockets. Mr Dunn and Mrs Ferguson made sure we had created our rockets and launch it into the air.  Most of us had finished our rockets and waiting to launch it but some people ( Like me, I needed to finish off my rocket and many other people).   Almost every group Rocket launched into the sky, with the help of Mr Dunn's drone, we captured footage of the rocket launched with the help of camera's we got most of the photos/videos we needed. One of the key points of the day was Sajiha's group rocket which flew high into the sky to never be seen ( Its familiar to what happened to Carrot). Thank you to Mr Dunn and Mrs Ferguson for creating such a magnificent 2 days of Rockets. 

Trip to Tahuna Torea Reserve:

Prezi Link ( Please click)

Yesterday,  the Senior school went to the Tahuna Torea  Reserve. Last year, we unfortunately didn't have our school picnic due to terrible weather condition. Luckily, with the money we had already put in for the trip. We used that money to go to the Tahuna Torea Reserve in Glendowie. Room 5, LS1 and LS2 spent 2 hours at the reserve learning about the Godwit/Kuaka's habitat. Thank you to Mrs Anderson, Mr Ogilvie, Mrs Kirkpatrick and everyone who had fun!

Rocket Technology:

Last week, LS2 stayed at Tamaki College for the entire day to create rockets.  We created straw rockets to measure our distance. It was really fun to see everyone collaborating and creating their own rockets.  We spent half of the day learning and creating straw rockets meanwhile the other half was filled with fun and excitement. In the afternoon we were in the midst of creating our very own rocket ( Or team rocket). We all learned about what will happen this Friday about our rocket being launched into the sky. Mr Dunn had created his own rocket but it had backfired. However, Mrs Ferguson 3D printed rocket named "Carot" flew in the sky to the point where it disappeared into the sky never to be seen again. Hopefully each rocket, flies high above the cloud.

Rockets

Last Friday, LS2 spent a full day at Tamaki College creating rockets. Mr Dunn and Mrs Ferguson organised this day. We all worked hard to create our straw rockets. However, we wrote a hypothesis about what will happen to our rocket ( A good or bad result). It was a fun day, and we hope to finish off most of our work this Friday.

Hockey:

Today, LS2 had their third and final session of Hockey. Our coaches taught us to dribble the ball but also be selfless by encouraging other teammates and working together to reach the opponent goal. It was a blast and hope to use the skills I learn to good use.
