Being Volcanologists!

 We have been learning about different types of volcanoes.  One type - the Caldera volcano - is formed when the volcano erupts and falls in on itself.  This is how Lake Taupo was formed.  Often Caldera volcanoes have lakes in them.  We used a blew up a balloon and buried it in the long jump pit to see if we could re-create how a Caldera volcano is formed.  Watch the video to see what happened when the balloon was popped.

Cross Country Champions

 Due to Covid 19 restrictions, this year we didn't get to participate in the Hamilton East School Cross Country.  Those students who wanted to compete were given to opportunity to compete on the 18th of August.  

Room 10 was really well represented in the Year 5 and Year 6 competitions.  Here they are with their certificates.  Well done Layton, Muhammad, Ana-Beatriz, Mia, Natalia and Olivia.  Unfortunately, Olivia missed being in this photo as she had a dance examination to attend.
