Tea on Christmas Ho, ho, ho it's going to be Christmas -- it's a merry, merry Christmas.

Room 3 modules in Room 4

I made a crocodile magnet with no teeth. It is on my fridge. - Angus

We are moving the iron balls with the magnet. - Seth

The circle magnets made circles with the iron balls. - Sam Cornford

The magnet that we made was fun to make because it was tricky - a challenge. - Neah

I made a giraffe because it was my favourite animal that was there. It's a great magnet for my fridge. - Natalie

The crocodile is made out of foam and we got to stick a magnet on the back. - Sarah

I am putting a magnet under the paper and moving a magnetic counter around a maze. - Toby

We are having a boat race. We made boats and we put paper clips on them and used magnets under the paper. - Nate

We had a boat race with magnets. - Georgina

We are trying to build a butterfly with the coloured paper and we had to get the paper clip to the string and with the magnet we had to see if it would fly. - Jess

Koputaroa Hangi...yum yum!!

Koputaroa had a hangi...we took some pictures of this event.

Mr McKenzie is telling us about the hangi pit - Kathleen
We could hear the wood crackling - Ben
Underneath the wood it looked like a little volcano - Neah
We went closer and it stung our eyes and when we went back it was nice and cool - Georgina

Mr McKenzie said that it was really hot and it burst into flames - Navah
He said that if it glows red it is very, very, very hot - Olivia
The metal thing burnt the grass - Angus
The metal thing looked like a mask - Campbell and Seth

...they had a trailer full of wood that burnt on the hangi pit - Natalie
...they drove the trailer to the hangi pit - Gemma
...they put cabbage leaves under the food so it wouldn't burn it - Jess
