Sailing

 SAILING

Today we got to have a go at sailing thanks to the "Have a go" sailing programme. We got shown how to rig up an optimist yacht and then go to have a go at sailing them. We had 2 people in each yacht as we worked out to make turns and control the optimist. We also got to practice capsizing the yachts and then getting them back up the right way. 

It was so much fun. A massive thinks to the amazing instructors who taught us. Tamaki College for letting us use their vans to take us and for Mike for giving up his time to drive the vans. Here are some pictures of our adventurous day. 

Science in Room 7

 SCIENCE

Today in class Mrs Baines came back and did an awesome science experiment with us.

We were learning how to design and build a structure that could stand for 20 seconds by itself and was as tall as we could possibly make it.

The materials we had we only tape and paper. It was fun and challenging at the same time. There was lots of great team work.
