Discovering Flight Immersion

Great action! |
Over the course of the 2 hour immersion we made and tested helicopters, parachutes, soaring cylinders, balloon jets, aerofoils, paper planes and flew some cool flying machines, not to mention read some fascinating flight books too! Here are some photos showing some of our experiences.

Holiday Recounts
It's great to back in Room 20. In week 1 we all wrote about a holiday experience and published these as Wordles. Here are some of our experiences and photos of some of our Wordles too. Come and see all of them in the classroom.

In
the car I had a my Canterburys and a jumper on. when i got back in the
house I got myself a milo and retreated to the couch and read a book.
AH!
Then I felt a tremendous terrifying pain
like hail was falling on me. Lucy heard me scream, “Help!” She ran up and
asked,“What are you doing in
a hole?". Then she yelled out to nana "Nana, nana, James fell down a
deep hole."
THE BEACH
By Joseph S
‘’Not
again’’ I moaned as dad packed us in the van to go to the blustery
beach for the second time in a row. Brum, brum, the van went as we
trundled up the road to omaha beach.
Finally
after 45 minutes in the van we reached our destination. WASP ALERT,
WASP ALERT there were loads of wasps on the path, rephrase, there were
millions of wasps on the wood leading towards the beach. Done the drive,
got past the wasps, now what else oh yeah, the beach.
When
dad went for a run, I dug a huge hole under the towel, so when he sat
down he fell right in the hole! “Is it time to go in the sea yet, “dad”
I questioned dad, “yeah’’ squeaked my little sister Thea, ‘’Ok then’’
answered dad.
So
here we are in the crisp cold sea , trying to get warm after about 10
minutes, I asked ‘’c-a-n-we-g-o -i-n-now’’ while my teeth vibrated. like
i said COLD! Get warm, Get changed that's what I was only thinking at
that time.
The unexpected
By James E
It
was the end of a delicious picnic feast at Red beach. Nana had just
walked to the car to read her book. Lucy and I were playing in the soft
wet cold sand. I decided to walk back to the car when... I fell into a deep
hole and slid down deeper.
Nana was about to say get out of the hole, but Lucy replied that I was stuck and was crying. Nana walked over to the hole.
I managed to get a leg out carefully.
Nana and Lucy pulled and I
pushed. I came out eventually. I was relieved that I was out. I was
glad that nana did not call the Fire Brigade or fall in on top of me.

The Big Crunch!
On Friday we had an exciting and juicy time at UHPS. On 10 May 2013, at precisely 2.13pm we joined 18,000 primary
school pupils as we bit into Jazz apples and secured a place in
history, as world record holders!
With the
support of businesses and the community, Kidscan deliver more than 22,000
lunches to more than 270 schools around New Zealand.
We were proud to do our bit to support the Jazz Apple Big Crunch and Kidscan!
