Challenge Two Fern and Cardboard Shelters
Here we go again! Building shelters.
This time we had some ferns from Mrs Grant's garden and we had to try and make a shelter with a strong roof and it had to be big enough to fit one of us inside or under it.
We decided to use some of the playground equipment for support and we went to the top of the field where there were lots of climbing poles.
First we divided into groups and drew a plan. We could use cardboard and string, but not cellotape.
The wind made our challenge more difficult because the ferns were blowing around, but most of us all managed to work together and build a shelter. Some groups joined together and that worked well.

Innovation topic - Building a Shelter Challenge
Our challenge was to build a shelter that had a roof strong enough to hold a carpet mat and big enough to fit a person in.
We could use newspaper, paper, cellotape and string.
Some children drew plans and some didn't.
Some shelters were successful and some weren't, but we all enjoyed the challenge and could think of how we might build a better shelter next time.

The 'Inside' Garden Party
Space 13 have enjoyed reading lots of Margaret Mahy books and stories. Margaret Mahy loved telling and writing stories and usually wore a coloured wig when she read her work to children.
Sadly she died this year aged 76.
After reading the Garden Party book we made hats, fairy bread and crackles to have our own garden party. However the weather decided that we were going to have our garden party INSIDE.
So here we are before we enjoyed our food.
Swimming Fun at the Aquatic Centre
Space 13 had a fantastic, fun, learning time at Swimsation.
Look at the different activities we enjoyed.

Sporty Space 13
Space 13 has over half the class playing school or weekend sports.
We think this is fantastic and Mrs Grant has never had so many children in her class who play so much sport.
Bryly, Jacob and Ngawai were away for the photo but they also play weekend sport.
All these sporty children received their sports certificates at our special Sports assembly.
Harmony, Cody and Ashton received special trophies for their great playing and sportsmanship during the season. Congratulations.

Our Change experiments and activities
Our major topic this term has been CHANGE.
We have had heaps of fun doing lots of experiments, making , watching, talking and thinking about what we have done.
Can you see the jelly and the popcorn we made, the invisible writing we tried, the butter we made from cream, the ice cream ingredients, the hokey pokey that showed us how geothermal activity changes and the car ramps we enjoyed building?

Kawaha Point Cross Country
Space 13 all persevered and finished the school Cross Country course.
Kia kaha, kia maia Space 13.
Layne enjoyed his time at the cross country and would like to share his day at the event.
CROSS COUNTRY
RUN. RUN. RUN.
Today was Cross Country. I was nervous at
first.
When it was our turn they said, "on your
mark get set, go."
It was fun. I was tired so I stopped.
Even though I didn't come first, I still
tried.
Kia manawanui, Layne

Cody also had a great time and will share his day at the event.
ZOOM! Today, June 6th, it was Cross Country.
I versed the 8 year olds. We raced at the Reserve.
“On your marks, get set.” CLAP!!
I started a bit slow but I sped up very quickly in to 6th place.
Yay! I passed one kid.
Yay! I passed another kid.
“Wow! I can’t believe that I’m in 4th place.”
One lap and I was tired out, but I kept on going.
I passed two more kids.
“Awesome, two places! I’m on fire! Ow, I’ve got the stitch big time."
YAY! I came second.
I feel more awesome than EVER.
Kia kaha, Cody

Space 13 are great writers. We have been using adjectives and similes to make our writing more interesting for someone else to read.
Please enjoy reading about Ngawai’s kitten.
My Kitten
My kitten’s name is Mallow.
She has bright blue eyes, white and grey fur and furry feet. Her nose is like my pink, pearl bracelet.
Her whiskers are as strong as rulers.
Mallow likes to eat the brown cat biscuits and the meaty, gluey, brown, soggy wet dog and cat roll.
She sleeps like a new born baby.
