Science experiments -Ngā tūhuratanga pūtaiao

We presented different science experiments in our small groups. 

The experiments related to the different parts of the water cycle.

Condensation, transpiration, evaporation and precipitation.

We were the mad scientists. It was great.

Pumice sculptures

PUMICE SCULPTURES

We collected pumice along the shores of Taupō. We created sculptures which represent ourselves. These sculptures were our kanohi. We planned, sketched the designs and then used nails to carve our kanohi. Once we finished the designs we used skin toned paint.

 We had so many pumice pieces that we created pou which would be added to the bottom of our kanohi sculptures. We thought they looked pretty brilliant. 

Come to our class to look at our sculptures.

Te haerenga i TaupōnuiāTia

Take a look at the wonderful times we had the noho marae in TaupōnuiāTia.

He reka te kai o Whaea Kaleb mā. Namunamua !

Our view of the maunga from the marae.

Looking at Lake Taupo with Tongoriro and Pihanga in the background.

Bathing our feet in the pool was so relaxing after walking around the prawn farm.

Prawn farming was fantastic. We sat fishing for prawns over two hours. We were focused on catching them. The whānau caught 45 prawns which we took back to the marae as a koha for Whaea Trish.
