On the first week they did a challenge where they had to hit a cup with a marble and the materials were newspaper, sellotape and scissors.The second challenge for the first week was the tallest tower.The materials again were sellotape, scissors and newspaper. The first challenge for the 2nd week was the longest bridge with the same materials. The first challenge for the second week was the emperor's clothes.  The second challenge for the second week was to drop an egg from a height on to concrete. A plastic bag, card, paper and string were used to stop the egg from cracking.There were lots of prizes to be won from Lonestar like a free kids meal and lots of other prizes.

swimming sports


At the beginning of the year the senior syndicate had their swimming sports. Room 2 had some finals swimmers who made it to inter school's  There were lots of races and the water was cold. But the cold water didn't slow anyone down at all. With lots of big splashes sending water everywhere. The board people were sprinting from end to end to help the backstroke people turn around.There were lots of races and speedy swimmers.

On June 1st 2012 Room 2 went to Tahunanui Beach. It was so exciting to play around in the sand but we knew that we had to do some sand sculptures on the beach. It turned out to be really fun because we got to dig in the sand and spread dry sand on the wet sand. Just before the judging began to see which sculpture was the best there was a local metal detector man with his metal detector. We set him a challenge and he had to try and find Mr I's keys in a square in the sand and guess what he found them!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!.But now it was time for the big reveal of who won the sculpture It was (Drum Beat) a first = finish as Samantha Hardie, Madison Hawke and Bronte Hall tied with Stacey Rodrigue, Ruby - Lou Stewert, Emma Waine and Lara Goulding.
