From Marama
Pukeokahu School has two big themes this term -
Technology (The Design Cycle) and the Science Fair. Our
Cluster Science Fair will be held in Town on Monday 27th
June - Tuesday 28th June. The senior children will be
each conducting their own scientific investigation while
the Junior children will be investigating as a group. We
are also looking at the Technology Design Cycle and have
begun the term participating in variety of BP Technology
Challenges (it’s amazing what you can make with some
newspaper, cellotape and a pair of scissors:-)
We are hoping to follow the children’s Wonderings for
Technology later on in the term, so we will keep you
posted with where the children lead us.

hand stall, bags of pinecones for sale and face painting for
children. We will have a sausage sizzle and candy floss as
well. Please pop down for the afternoon to support these
super kids, the Westpac Rescue Helicopter (and my
ambition to meet Richie Mecaw ;-)
