Swim Safe

In Te Ngahere a lady named Tracy came in and told our class about swim safety. While she was here I learnt that flares get really hot and they are not waterproof that is because when they get hot you can put them in the water to cool them down. She also shared a story with us about two people on a boat that capsized. I also learnt the number on a radio for the coast guard which is 16. I will definitely use these 5 rules the next time I go on a boat. Do you know the 5 rules?

STEAM

In Te Ngahere we made newspaper towers for STEAM. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. We were learning to make a free standing object with our limited amount of equipment. We were given two pieces of newspaper and 30cm of cellotape. While doing this I learnt that adding extra pieces to the top of the tower added to the height. I definitely had fun creating the tower with my buddy. Have you ever made anything for STEAM?
