Room 8 were lucky enough to head down to the local gem, Fergusson Park on Monday of Week 6.

The sun was out, the wind was flying around, seagulls swooping, and -although a little windswept by the end of the day-a great day was had by all. The challenge on the day was to use a topographical map to create a replica of the Matua Peninsula and part of the Ōtūmoetai area.

The students had a great time linking the map to their local knowledge, and creating the models in the sand. Outstanding examples were made on the day.

Huge thanks to our parent help, Jihye Lee, and Mrs McPike.
