Huritini had a fantastic day of science fun and hands on investigations involving toys and forces.
The Ferrymead educators taught us about the science of toys - exploring the forces that make simple toys move; brought a variety of toys and games from before the days of TV and computers; and helped us make a homemade toy called a thaumatrope.
The tamariki were awesome ACTIVE learners and scientists, as they investigated magnets, ramps, floating and sinking, gravity, air resistance and friction.
The teachers were very impressed with the children's participation, amazing ideas and questions throughout the day. We look forward to learning and investigating more about toys and forces over the term!
