Nga Wai Eco Champions
We gathered litter from our school playground. Then we placed it on the big blue tarpaulin and we looked at the rubbish that we had collected. We thought about how much of the rubbish was because of us. This was a lot of it! We grouped it into different types of plastics. We realised we could use fewer plastic wrappings in our lunch boxes, and switch to more reusable options such as bees wax wraps and reusable containers. Here are some photos of our litter collection.

Nga Roto's historical timeline of scientific inventions for Hataitai School's Science Week 2016.
Thanks to Hannah for organising this excellent experience!
New Zealand Primary Science Week
As part of New Zealand Primary Science Week we had a science day at school. It was great to see and experience a lot of hands on science. Here some children are extracting DNA out of a tomato and a kiwi fruit.
We also dressed up in a science related manner. Check out some of our costumes.
In our oral language we have been sharing our knowledge on science related concepts. Here we are being shown how and why baking soda and vinegar react.

Nga Wai's Trip to Mindlab
At Mindlab we experienced working in groups using Scratch, a computer programming and coding tool, to create an experiment using a Mother-Board to build an automatic timer. We used the timer to measure which soil was the least or most absorbent. It was difficult to figure out where to put the wires that would make the timer start and stop when the water touched them. It was cool to be in a real science lab where we were left to our own devices and trusted to figure out how to conduct the experiment.

Nga Wai Community News
Nga Wai has a new and exciting inquiry, Hauora (Wellbeing).
We have been constructing our Learning Community. To do this we have been planning and setting up the classrooms, creating a treaty to agree on our rights and responsibilities as learners and investigating how the brain works and how we learn best. Do you know if you are a visual, auditory or kinesthetic learner?
We are learning about community and considering ways we can contribute to communities around Hataitai, Wellington and the world. This is a great thing to discuss as a family at home and bring your ideas to school. We’d love to hear them.

Nga Wai’s art is better than it’s ever been before! We are inviting you to visit the classes and admire our astonishing work. As we’ve been doing art we have been learning lots of different techniques such as shading, clean lines, blending colours and much much more.
