Superhero Explore

What's that in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Piako Tahi!

This week we have become Superheroes in Explore and have worked on sharing our toys and helping our friends. We have talked about all the different powers we could have and what a Superhero might need to help them. Check out some of our awesome work!

Science Experiments

Look at the fun we had this afternoon experimenting with putting pencils through a plastic bag WITHOUT it leaking!!
We talked about how the pressure on the bag from the water kept the water from leaking out of the bag.
We watched Mr Pike do it first and then we had a turn ourselves!!!
