On Wednesday July 28, excitement was spreading through the Year 6 syndicate like wildfire. We were going to Farm Cove to see their science fair and we were all chattering eagerly. After an early morning tea, we lined up, all impatient to see the interesting things. When we arrived, we were let into the hall, full of anticipation and curiosity. There were many creative experiments and they were all really colourful. One of our past students, Nathan Wilson, did a great job on designing a mechanical mop for cleaning up all those horrible messes. After much exploring and eyeing everything, it was time to go. We left Farm Cove in high spirits. It was an awesome adventure.

Students lead the discussions in the SeniorSchool
For the first time the students in the senior school led the discussions and talked to the parents about their progress in reading, writing and mathematics. They told their parents what they did well and what their next steps would be. They also talked about what their parents could do at home to help them.
Miss Lindsay’s class construct realistic statues The students in Miss Lindsay’s Year 4 class had a lot of fun making these very realistic miniature statues. They were done when Mrs. Murray took them for art lessons for a week.

The students said, “We made these figures from a single piece of tinfoil which we wrapped with masking tape. We then embellished our figure with materials that represent our culture."
Culture is …
What we do
What we value and
How we live our lives
Our culture is our identity.
The Korean Students are enjoying their first week at school Wakaaranga School is currently hosting two groups of international students. One group is from the Inje District and the other is from the Sungham District in Korea. Before arriving at the school they visited Rotorua and Taupo for the weekend, taking in many tourist spots. This is a trip of a life time for many of these students as some of them have never been out of Korea. While in New Zealand they are hosted by local families, experiencing the "Kiwi"way of life. They will also visit many of the local attractions before departing on the 11 August. Wakaaranga School will be hosting more international students in the future
