The Great Egg Challenge!

With the Science Fair only a few weeks away, Room 2 was given a challenge. They must create an invention that can catch an egg without it cracking.

Firstly every group was given a bucket of random materials and had half an hour to design and build their invention.
Once building time was over the class then entered their invention into the competition and the egg dropping began! Every invention looked different and some were more effective than others. The final two groups made it to the 3 meter drop!

Well done Room 2 on your amazing creations!

Incredible Marae Trip!

Along with the other intermediate classes Room 2 visited the Orakei Marae this week. 
We were officially welcomed onto the Marae then we learnt about how the Marae building was made.

We also learnt the significance of each part of the Marae.

We were taught how to welcome people and our students got to welcome the parents and teachers back onto the Marae.


We ended the day by learning some new songs and the kamate kamate haka.
