Welcome Cameron


This week we welcomed a super new classmate to the Room 8 whanau, his name is Cameron Wirihana. He has made a super start to working in Room 8 and we are so very pleased to welcome him to our school.

Hokey Pokey

Room 8 have been learning about how things change in science.  Today we experimented with making hokey pokey.  We mixed sugar (solid) and golden syrup (liquid) in a pan and heated it to dissolve the sugar and make the liquid mixture more viscous.  We added baking soda (solid) and watched it change colour and puff up.  We learnt that the baking soda mixed with the hot sugary mixture makes a gas which is why hokey pokey  has holes in it.  We ate the hokey pokey and it was delicious!
