The children ran their own lego shop as part of maths week. They budgeted, wrote each purchase as a multiplication sentence, worked out totals, discounts and change, then built a model with what they bought. 5th Class took on decimals and percentage discounts. Great maths, teamwork and some very creative builds.
STEM
Our 4th class students recently completed exciting STEM projects using KiwiCo kits, building a printing press, a hand pump, and a pinball machine.
They learned how a printing press works by creating their own prints, explored air pressure and mechanics by assembling a hand-operated pump, and applied physics and engineering skills to design and play their own pinball machines.
These hands-on projects boosted creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork while making STEM fun and practical. We are proud of their enthusiasm and innovation!
We made ooblek which is newtonian fluid. We were learning about solids and fluids and changing materials in science.
Wainfest 2024
We were learning about homes and houses in the past in History and caring for our environment in Geography and the children put the two ideas together and made houses out of junk art!
