Our Year 6 Tamariki Visit Breens

We had a brisk walk to Breens today, where Principal, Brian Price welcomed us.  Then we split into groups and experienced the Technology classes.

 Making snow in science.

 We had to stir the chemicals and they turned into fluffy snow!

 Decorating pens in Fabric and Fibre.

Here are our photo frames that we made in Hard Materials.

 Printmaking in Art.

Biscuit shaping and decorating in Food Tech.

We really enjoyed our experience at Breens today and appreciate the opportunity for our children to visit and to feel a bit more confident about going to a new school next year.

Breens Visit Reminder

Kia Ora whanau
I have just checked Christchurch weather for tomorrow and the forecast suggests that it is likely to rain tomorrow around lunchtime, when our Year 6 tamariki are due to walk to Breens.  Please ensure your child has a rain jacket.
Don't forget, Breens has its Open Evening tonight from 6:30pm, for you to get a feel for the school and meet the staff.

Measurement Begins

We're back and raring to go for Term 3. Check out the maths groups, who started maths lessons today by learning to measure accurately. We made playdough that was soft and squishable!

Please write in your diaries that our Year 6 children are walking to Breens Intermediate on Wednesday 29th July.  (The letter went home today).  Every year, we pop down and meet the principal, Brian Price.  Then we have a play in the Technology rooms.  It's a taster for next year and the children attend,
even if they might be thinking of attending another intermediate.
