3D Design

A number of students this term have had a go at being 3D designers.
Using 'Sketch Up' they have designed objects for printing on our new 3D printer.

Science Discovery

This term groups of students in Years 3, 4 5 and 6 took part in a Science Discovery group.

To build on their class science programmes in Term Two they all attended two specially developed programmes at The Mind Lab. There they applied their scientific thinking to explore scientific processes in a range of scientific activities. They developed their understanding of fair testing when launching rockets, created batteries and explored electromagnetism.

Mathex Mathematicians Excel!!

This term two Year Five teams and two Year Six teams competed in the Remuera Zone Mathex competition and they all did us proud! All teams scored impressive results in answering a range of very challenging problems. The evening ended with great excitement and anticipation as our Year 6A team was in the tiebreaker for first place with a St Kentigerns team. We all held our breath as the teams had to answer 3 additional questions. It was extremely close but our incredible mathematicians just missed out on securing the cup. It was truly an in impressive effort by all involved.
