Simple Machines

Our inquiry for the term is 'Moving Toys' so the first thing we are going to inquir about are Simple Machines (Physical World) so that we can learn about all the types of simple machines and then apply our knowledge and skills to making our toys later in the term. Over the past two weeks we have looked at levers, wedges and inclined planes. We have completed wordsearches, experiements and assessment tasks related to our learning.

Relocation

Wanaka Primary has relocated to a new site. Last term was a very busy term for teachers and students. We are extremely lucky to have such a wonderful new school. We have been there for two weeks now and we are loving it. We have changed our address to http://wpspod4room16.com/ so hope you all will pop in and view our posts about our work and play. Watch out for the photos of our new school. We will post some after Labour weekend.
