Testing Week

Testing week is upon us here at Pt England School. After a long, hard year, where we have learnt so much and tried our hardest to improve, it is our chance to show what progress we have made.


These photo's are of us doing our writing sample. Can you see anything that is strange about they way we do our writing in Room 15?

You guessed it. We don't use pencils or paper to write on these days, we have our very own netbooks to type our writing. In term one we used pencils and paper because our typing skills weren't the best but after using our netbooks for 3 terms we are now all really quick typers, so this is how we do it.

Working Hard in the Sun

On Friday it was a freezing cold morning. After sitting on the floor in the hall for an hour and a half, we decided that there was no better way to defrost, than to sit out on the deck and do our work. Much nicer than our boring old desks aye?

MOTAT Field Trip

Yesterday Room 15, 16 and Room 17 went to Motat. We went to Motat because we wanted to learn more about our Technology topic Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger.

We saw a Mirror Maze, which was confusing. The Tactile Dome was cool because we had to figure out how to get out. There were old telephones at Motat and we went to the Challenge Zone too. When we were in the Challenge Zone we were buzzing with excitement because it was such a huge room. My group saw a Steam Engine which was really old. The best thing we saw was massive fire trucks which were different to the normal ones. They were longer and taller.

I enjoyed going to Motat on the bus and I had so much fun.

Reaction Contraptions

On Friday we had the challenge to create a reaction contraption. This meant that we used a whole lot of junk, toys and games to make some wacky reaction tracks.

From racing car tracks to toilet roles, cricket wickets to dominoes, and marbles to tin cans. We had a lot of fun making these, continuously modifying and adapting until we had the perfect, or not so perfect, contraption.

Check out these movies we made to see what we mean.
