The EPro8 competition focuses on Engineering, Problem Solving and Innovation.

 Teams of four year 5&6 students work together to come up with a solution to a problem and build it out of materials provided. This year the interschool competition will be completed onsite, and semi-finals will be held in the usual way. So this reduces the cost a little to approx $15 each (subsidies may be able to be arranged if needed - I don’t want your child to miss out if they are interested but finances are tight - send me an email - I’ll help). Open to any interested Year 5&6 students. Practices will be held in break times at school (advertised in the panui). Kids can come along and have a go and see if they want to join a competition team. Please contact Debbie Thompson dthompson@wgp.school.nz or check out the EPro8 website if you want to know more. Last week we met for the first time and unboxed our new equipment. Over the coming weeks we will be using this equipment to practice.
