Trip to Masterton

We have just returned from our EOTC Week trip to Masterton. What a blast! From zooming down the speed slides, to going across the shaky swing bridge and feeding the friendly eels and deer, a fantastic time was had by all. Thank you to all of the whanau that helped us out for the day - we couldn't have done it without you!

Buddy Time

Aotea had a very special guest for our buddy class last Friday - Ruby's pony!

We each got to pat her and spend some time learning about her. Ruby's little buddy Olivia even got to sit on her back. Thank you so much Ruby (and your family) for this special experience.

Here are a few photos:

Mr Hawkins Drone testing

Spent this morning helping test a drone. Unfortunately I was not able to fly it, as you need a licence. They are experimenting with ways they can use the drone to help collect data about plant species and water stress on crops. It has special equipment that can tell the temperature of plant leaves helping them to workout the water stress on the crop.

Cycling - Intersections

We were welcomed with a court area that was set up like a road. We had traffic (bikes) going different directions and intersections.  They needed to indicate when they were turning also. The intersections provided an opportunity for the children practice skills they had learnt with Cycling Theory. They did an amazing job and now the next stop with be the Road Ride next week.

 

 

EOTC Week Begins

On Monday, EOTC Week begin with an Amazing Race that had detours and roadblocks along with cryptic clues on where to go next on their journey. They had to work as a team to solve challenges such as remembering a poem, morse code, identifying familiar faces, and finding objects in the woods.
