Ata Marie Koutou,
Well today has been a very busy science day. Our displayshave
been set up in the hall and will be open to publicviewing once the
judging is complete. There has been alot of work put into our
science fair, both at home and atschool. Thank you to all of our
families for supporting our
students with their learning. Kim Basse the principal of Ruapehu
College, came overthis morning to help us with judging our science
fair. She was very impressed with thecalibre of our displays and
experiments and wanted me to pass on a few words.
Mrs Basse: I can see that a lot of work has gone into these
displays. It is great to seethat students had help from parents,
especially to purchase materials. It is good to seewhat the
students were interested in and how they were researching. It is
obvious thatsome Waiouru School students are budding scientists,
which is fantastic as science issuch an important part of school
and learning.
I must also mention the special science project our New Entrant
students(Piwakawaka) are engaged in. Piwakawaka, thanks to a huge
amount of help from
their parents, have built a school chicken coop. We have kindly
been donated fivechickens from the Walker family, and now our
little guys have their own chickenfarming enterprise!! The chickens
will be feed with food scraps, and supplemented withchicken feed.
Eggs will be sold at the office to pay for the chicken feed. Now I
was alittle sceptical that the chicken would lay (I thought the
move and getting used to 86children staring at them might put them
off), but low and behold, Piwakawaka came into show me TWO EGGs!!
they had gathered this morning! Well done Piwakawaka
andhelpers.
Have a great weekend, and hopefully the snow won't be too bad
and I will see you
all tomorrow.
