ROBOTICS!!!

Two weekends ago, the Manchester Street School ROBOTICS TEAM (mss vexators) was at Palmerston North Boys High School for the regionals. Our robot came 5th place, OMG! That's out of the whole Manawatu. Tomorrow they are competing against the whole of NEW ZEALAND! WOW! Wish them luck, maybe they will face the rest of the world if they win.

RDA Super Stars!

Gemma, Steve and Jai attend RDA each Friday. This is a horse riding opportunity that they are very lucky to have. An incredible staff of volunteers make it possible. Today was their last session and they were awarded these sashes. 

Creative Coding

                                                              Creative Coding!

On Wednesday, Mr Ward introduced Room T to a website called Khan Academy! It's a helpful website that can teach you how to draw pictures using special commands! One of its features is hour of code. Its a Feature where you can have an hour of learning things that you can do with code! Here is some pictures of Room T doing some coding! The next step would be to create animations using code.

Water Rockets

                         WATER ROCKETS                                                                                                                HOW FUN IS YOUR TEACHER?  On Monday the 7th of December for homework we  made water rockets  and to test how  high they went Mr Ward brought his bottle rocket launcher. Ella's and Mr Ward's rockets went the highest. Mr Wards one dug into the ground and when we took it out the lid for the nose cone was gone . Ella's one went so high it created clouds - I was so amazed. I thought Mr Ward's one was going to hit me in the head because  I pulled the string and I had to run back.        By Georgia

Celebration Term 4

Thank you to Ms Caske, Mr Wheeler and Mrs Mackie for our celebration treat for Term 4. Due to the building we could not have our usual celebration at the Makino so they thought outside the square and bouncy fun was what we had!

It's the fastest Teacher Aide in the school!

Guess Who?

These two little cuties are sisters from the Senior Team. Have you worked out who they are yet? Hint the younger sister is in Rm I, the older in Rm T.

Having trouble with putting the picture into this post!? Ms Finlayson and Ms Ellis tried to help me but no luck so far. So until we resolve the picture issue this is it sorry!

Is it a dinosaur, is it a moa, could it be human?

Nathan and Brenden were exploring Kowhai Park and found a large section of an unknown animal skeleton. It required a scuba effort to retrieve it as it was in the pond. They have decided that it is part of an animals vertebrae and they think from the size it might be a cow.

Big Day Out- Dive Pool

Big Day Out- Lido

After a scoff and a run round we were ready for our final fun activity. To the Lido, no expense spared, we had a pass for everything! Let the fun begin! Speed Slide and giant wedgies, here we come!

Is that Ms Todd photo bombing?

I'm sure Sam wasn't trying to wet me!?

The picture says it all. Shannon faced her fear and we were so proud of her!
