DREAM AND DISCOVER -LEARNING AREA:CAREERS EDUCATION

Today we had the pleasure to welcome Mr and Mrs Scott members of our school Parish, to our class.  They came to share their knowledge about their business with us. Yesterday we did some laying in of the learning prior to their visit.  We learnt so much about bees today. Did you know bees have been on our planet for 65 million years..wow!  This was such an interesting topic and thanks to the generosity of our guest speakers, we each got to take home a pot of beautiful organic honey.  Mrs P ducked out at lunch to grab a loaf of bread so that we could each try the "specialness" of Manuka Honey, from the famed Scott Manuka City, in the forest of Hanmer. What a day, what an experience.

AND THE WINNERS are JACK AND SOLOMON WITH THEIR COOL EGG JEFFREY


The spring sun came out for the final part of our Challenge. Our "precious" cargo had to travel 5 metres in the air, and survive.  It came down to just two teams. When Mrs Parker checked our materials, Ella and Meresia had used more than the allowed amount of paper straw, which meant Jack and Solomon ( and Jeffrey) won the "Drop the Goods" Challenge.
Well done to the rest of the class, you gave it your best!

SO PROUD OF OUR GIRLS-YOU ARE AWESOME!
