Geyser Science!

Wow! what a great science lesson we had with our visitor Mr Billing last week! We learned all about the Pohutu Geyser at Te Puia. We talked about how a Geyser works and Mr Billing explained that scientists make a Hypothesis and then do Observations, Investigations and Experiments to try out their ideas. Mr Billing did an amazing experiment to show us how a Geyser works using a kettle that spurted steam and hot water out of the top just like a Geyser! We were amazed! Thank you so much Mr Billing for coming to all our Year One classes to help us learn more about Geysers.

Tihi Reserve

The Year One Team enjoyed our walk to Tihi Reserve this week. On the way there we practised our road safety skills; we walked on the side of the footpath away from the road and we remembered to look out for sneaky driveways. When crossing the road we remembered to stop, look and listen to check it was safe and then we crossed carefully looking both ways. It was a beautiful Autumn Day and we had fun looking at the autumn trees, exploring the tracks and finding treasures in the Reserve.
