A Message from Snell Team
STEAM Fair (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics)
In terms 2 and 3 Snell team (Year 6, 7 and 8) have been working on STEAM Fair, everyone has been working really hard to complete their boards by the deadline.
There are two types of STEAM fair projects you could choose from Science or Technology. At the beginning we all started by writing down the big problems we found in the world, and then narrowed them down to smaller first world problems. If the teacher classified your problem as an experiment, then you would be in the science class, and if they classified your problem as a tool or object that needed to be invented you would be in the Technology class.
Last night (Monday) we had the presentation night where we displayed our STEAM Fair boards and had lots of parents and whanau come though and look.
This time was also where the teachers marked our work. We came back to school on Tuesday to different certificates for the categories that our STEAM Fair boards were excellent in.
The top few projects from the year 7 and 8’s will now be taken forward and entered into the NIWA Auckland Science Fair.
The Kohimarama Way – Friendliness
How we know we are successfully practicing Friendliness, when you… like yourself and realise you have a lot to offer. Smile and greet someone you don’t know. Get to know someone and let them get to know you. Show an interest in others. Show caring when a friend needs you. Are friendly to people who look and act differently.
