Auckland Zoo

On the 27th of  July, We had a free trip to the Zoo!

The reason Rm 18 is going to Auckland Zoo is because we are working with South Sci about Weta's becoming extinct and they helped us with our project by funding our trip .


In this learning space at the Zoo, Zookeepers were talking to  my class & Aorere College about everything and anything you would need to know about our New Zealand insect the WETA !

                              Also to help us was our science experts
                                           - Josh & Mark
 - Dr Sarah Morgan
 - Dr Victoria Metcalf


1. Did you know that a Giant Weta is one of the most biggest insects in the world!?



After the learning experience, we headed outside to explore a life of zoo animals !! My absolute favourite animal I got see was the Red Panda and the Tiger . 

On Behalf of Rm 18 Dawson Primary, We Would Like To Say A Big Thanks To Our Science Experts, South Sci And Auckland Zoo !! 

Market Day

Prep

On the 6th of july ,   Our whole senior syndicate had a prep market day. Prep

is when our senior school syndicate get  into business groups and make products/services .

my group the Ballerz were running a movie service, which meant we started our service before the actual market day. We got all the customers settled and started the movie. When the movie started, we handed  out the food packs and enjoyed the movie.

On the actual day, all the groups started to set up their products. I was apart of the BANKstERS A.K.A bankers. When it started, I ran straight to the Gamer crew  group,with danielle,tim,hazel,daiara and suzy. I went to throw the ball and… MISSED !

After buying some products,Tayge and myself were running the bank. We were exchanging other customers change. When it was over, everyone helped tidy up and clean.

THAT WAS A SUPER EXPERIENCE TO SEE!

Maritime Museum

Maritime Museum

  On the 30th of June, our year 6 syndicate went on a bus to the Maritime Museum.

When we had arrived, our tour guide [Leichelle] was telling us about the schedule for that day. I was put in Group 1 with room 16 and others from my class.

Our group was sailing first , I was just sitting on this long chair holding onto the bars and watching the waves crashing  down. The waka went underneath the harbour bridge, then we went a little longer down then turned around and went back to the museum.

Next, we swapped over with group two and headed to the workshop with Leichelle.  In the workshop we watched some small clips about the polynesian Voyagers and how they traveled on the ocean. After that, at 12.00 pm this golden cannon goes off so the other workers know it was half of the day gone. And also since the voyager never had clocks, the would fire the cannon other villager knew.

Finally - LUNCH !! Our syndicate came together to have our lunch.  We had enough time to split into groups and explore the museum.  But at 1.45pm  we had to leave.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST COOLEST TRIPS EVER!
