Our First Totara Fun Day





First of all, you may be wondering what a Totara fun day is?   During Totara Fun Day the senior school all rotate around to different teacher. We participate in different activities around dance and drama, photography,science,technology and maths.

Firstly we get together as a whole team and we do Kapa Haka practise. Then we went to Andrea and learned about taking photographs instead of just pictures. We think photographs have a story behind them. We used water as our focus because we are learning about our relationship with water.

Then at 10:00 we switched classes. We went to Room 12 and Sandie and Kerry taught us about measurement. We used cereal and rice to learn about measuring capacity and volume. We were split into groups of four or five and some groups got to make their own cereal. The other groups will make their own cereal next time.  We learned how much rice could fit into a cereal box and we discovered it could hold 28 cups.

We are looking forward to next week where we get to try out two new activities.






Guess who this is drinking the cereal?
