Pounamu General Hospital

Move over Shortland Street, there's a new hospital in Pounamu Town. Our doctors and nurses are working around the clock to care for our patients. 

Dr Neo: "Tianyou broke her leg and I'm giving her an injection". 

Dr Mackenzie: "They fell off a cliff and they broke their leg. I had to look in their ears and their mouth. I had to put a bandage on them. They had to lie down. I had to check the heart. It was broken. I had to look inside their tummy."

Growth Mindsets in Sport

We ran the cross country today. It was so much fun. Even though it was muddy and slippery we all participated and did our best. Thank you to the parents and friends who supported us.

Flight to Rio

We turned Skippers into an airport today. We had a check in counter, passports, boarding passes, security, stewards and even a plane! We also had a big queue. It was so much fun role playing.


Reece and Siena our captains.

Making Puppets with Simple Mechanisms

We worked hard to make our puppets have all the right body parts and to make sure they are the right size.

Learning About Levers

We are learning about simple machines. Today we were learning to identify different levels and we even had a go at making our own. What levers can you spot at home? 

Growth Mindsets during Town Time

We like to use our Growth Mindsets even when things are tricky.
Have a look at what Neo made.

Pounamu Super Scientists

We have been looking at movement and how our eyes work. Today we made moving pictures.
