Chilling Out At Snow Planet
We had a great day at Snow Planet today. It reminded me of being back in the middle of winter in Invercargill. (Not that it's like that all the time!)
What a great group - so enthusiastic and we had fantastic questions to ask. Some really challenging maths questions were asked of us too. What ones can you remember? Add them as comments and see if people can work them out.
Also add in what you learned about the process of snow-making and any other interesting facts from today.
Check out some of these fantastic photos! Add comments for possible captions!!!!!! The funnier the better!

Exploring Ecosystems
We've been really lucky to have one of our American students working with us during the past week. Miss Fleetwood has been helping us learn about Ecosystems and how they interact.
Here are some photos from today. Add your comments about what you've been learning. How has your knowledge of the word 'ecosystem' changed? What new knowledge do you now have?
ECOSYSTEM INVESTIGATION - Google Doc - add your thinking on this. :-)

Try Out This Online Book Club
Here is a website I found with some fantastic recommendations / book reviews written by students.
There are also lots of activities you can join in with to help develop that love of books and reading in general.
I've added the address on the side bar of the Henderson Literature Circles blog and also the side bar of this blog. What about adding it to your individual blogs too?
