2nd Week Term Three

Today at Enrich we did a technology challenge and it was very difficult. We had to make a shuttlecock launcher out of sticks, ice cream sticks, rubber bands, tape, string, a cup and a shuttlecock. We had twenty minutes and the prize was chocolate!  We are going to judge them at the end of the day - I will let you know next week who won! Also, we had a visit from an environmentalist. She came to tell us about the Waihopai river and Seaward Bush - she was very interesting.
