This term, the Core Years 3 and 4 combined groups will be looking at "Chemical Reactions." We will be experimenting, researching, reporting our findings, drawing conclusions and making predictions.
The Core Years 5 and 6 groups will be taking part in the Future Problem Solving Programme. This term's topic is "Space Junk." For more information on the FPS programme please refer to fpsnz.co.nz
