Below are some videos that link to the reading that the Kereru's have been doing about Space.

This video shows the size of the different objects in space.

Earth seems pretty large right? Well let's compare it to some other planets and stars...

This animated film shows the journey of the Cassini Space Probe which left earth in 1997, and reached Saturn in 2004.

This film shows what the probe was sent to do, and how its journey ended.

This week we had a lovely afternoon sharing our learning with our Grandparents and other people who are special to us.

The children rotated through the four different activities...

Making Fairy Bread and Fruit Kebabs, Creating a Photo Frame, Sharing our books and Published Works and Viewing the Science Exhibition.

Thanks to all who were able to come along, the children LOVED having you there!

This week during Discovery time we 'flew' to Brazil.

After our flight in the capable hands of Pilot Saifan, we headed off to participate in some of the activities...

This week we could choose from making Mardi Gras Masks, Making a Toucan Bird or a Hanging Snake.

The final product of all the students hard work and learning across the term was on display this week for the Science Exhibition.

If you weren't able to view it, or you loved it so much that you'd love another peek, here's a re-cap video.

What amazing budding scientists we have at Meadowbank School!

Here are some links to read-aloud Dr. Seuss Stories

Choose one to watch, then you get to design your very own Dr. Seuss Character.

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Oh the places you'll go

What was I scared of?

Today our little explorers presented their findings after researching another country at home over the last few weeks.

There was obviously a lot of effort put into these presentations, and they did such a great job!

Thanks for all your help at home Mums and Dads!
