Science Week 2015

Owairaka Schools Science Week 4 – 8 May 

To celebrate Science Week each class will be learning to think like a scientist.

We will be carrying out investigations in class and encouraging children to talk about this learning with you. Are you a mad Scientist? Do you conduct experiments that you could share with the children? Please contact the class teacher and join us for Science Week!


Science Selfies

No, we don’t want a picture of you but a picture of any wonderful science learning you do at home! Take a photo or record yourself, and send it to Miss Green, our resident science lover.

Email it to: jgreen@owairaka.school.nz by Monday 11 May. We will be sharing all of your great home Science learning during our assembly on Friday 15 May. There will be spot prizes for a lucky few home scientists!
