Room 2 and 3 study boat design.

Both year six classes have finished the term by studying boat design. At The Auckland Maritime Museum we looked at how technology has aided boat design over the generations. We saw outriggers, sailboats, steamboats and a display showing the latest in New Zealand customs vessel design.
Our Float-that-Boat competition was a great way to finish the term. Sixty students made boats for home learning and each was then entered in one of two categories - either the glitz and glamour category or the sporty and aerodynamic category. A class of year 2 students were invited to watch, and they were so inspired they went back to class and wrote about what they had seen.!

Rooms 2 and 3 on Year 6 Camp.

All the Year 6 students have had a fabulous first term. It has involved a four day camp at Shakespear Regional Park, a trip to The Auckland Maritime Museum and a Float-that-Boat competition.
Shakespear Lodge is approximately an hour and a half North of Auckland, at the end of Whangaparaoa peninsula. It is a beautiful location and the students all participated in archery, mountain boarding, bush cooking, beach studies, rock climbing and abseiling, night games, team building activities and a raft of other opportunities.
