Torches

This term we are learning about gadgets and mainly electricity.

This afternoon, Miss O'Neill showed us how to carefully take apart a torch and then put it together again. We learned that a torch has 5 main parts to it. It has a light bulb, switch, battery, conductor and a casing.

Here are Madisyn, Jade and Rowan taking apart their torch.


Oh...and we also learned that we should ask our parents before we go taking apart torches at home!

Staff at Wairakei School

During term 1, Room 10 investigated the roles of the adults at Wairakei School. We sent emails to some staff and even interviewed Mr Buckner with recordable microphone.

All of the children drew pictures of each staff member at Wairakei School...here is our slideshow (inserting slideshows is new to me...so I apologise for some of the images being cut off...not sure why).
