Boys Baking!












The mission was to make a marble cake using a recipe found in a magazine. The boys set to work following the instructions and working as a team to create their masterpiece! Of course Kesia was on hand to give advice! They even did the dishes, what well trained boys! The finished product looked and tasted fantastic!

Boys Building Boats



A busy weekend for the boys on a mission to build the best boat. Ryan stayed with Ross and designed and built their boats and Troy stayed with Jordan for their design and build mission. The boys met up on Sunday and Scott took them to the creek at Whangarei Intermediate to "float" and "sink" the boats. The aim was to see which boat floated best and then to do their best to sink each other's boats! Unfortunately Scott forgot to take the camera for shots of boats in action! Will have to design and build boats for another weekends attempt. Great to see them making plans together, all being so actively engaged in a project and enjoying the mission in the great outdoors!

Learning about Skype!


Blake and Cameron were visiting today after school and Blake asked what our webcam was. I explained to him about skyping and we talked about how we can talk to other people and see them on our computer and that they can see us on their computer. Luckily Beverly was still at work so we were able to skype her at Manaia Kindergarten. After a few technical issues it was all go and Blake, Cameron and Jackie were able to see skyping in action! The learning journey continues to expand!
