It snowed in Waiuku today

Maths Week

This week is Math Week. Please go to www.mathsweek.org.nz to register and do some of the very cool activities.

Rules of Dog Ownership

These are just three of the nine rules that we learnt about today.

We also got a certificate and a Take Home Book each.

Did you know.... you can be fined $300 if you do not pick up your dog's poop!!!!

Poppa-Jack

We used our persuasive language skills to convince Bronnie to bring "Poppa-Jack" in to see us. He was found wandering the streets of Mangere, and no-one has come looking for him. That must mean that he didn't have a microchip, and that he was not wearing registration tags. Those are two of the rules we learnt today!

Dog Management.

Today Bronnie from Dog Management came to talk to us about owning dogs and being safe around dogs. One of the rules about owning Dogs is the the owner must KNOW ALL THE RULES about owning dogs. Miss Brown doesn't own a dog, and she knew hardly any of the rules! She learnt HEAPS!

Science Roadshow

Wow... what an awesome display of cool science activities and experiments we saw yesterday. Some of the children tried to explain how some of the experiments worked, and then they entered a draw to win a cool prize. Both Karleen and Ruby-Jean won out of all the Year 5's and 6's. Awesome! They got some groovy 3D glasses and some cool pictures to look at, plus some information on how to down load some more cool things to look at. We hope they enjoy them. The Science Roadshow guys showed us some pretty cool experiments with fire, which we loved. They burnt a hole through a piece of metal coated in Zinc. The zinc melted and started to run off in little rivers and then it cooled down like that. We've got it in our class to look at!
