On Thursday 1st July, 12 students went to Lincoln University for the Children's University Campus Experience. The children participated wonderfully in 4 activities throughout the day. It was a great experience and all the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and we look forward to having more students take part in Children's University next year.

Here's what one of our students had to say about the day at Lincoln University: "My favourite activity was a space program where we learned about how they test robots in Antarctica before sending them to space. We also had fun watching things they do in space like how they make pizza and where they sleep. We did an activity using paper rockets with straws and the challenge was how many you could blow up and catch in a row and our class made the new record with 17. The other activities we did were testing and looking at different types of soil. We also did native bird sounds and guessed which was what. The first thing we did was a decoding activity with pictures and words. We talked about native and endemic species and how to take care of them by placing down traps for predators like porcupines and stoats and more. We all had a wonderful day and it was very interesting for us".
