Rhythm Interactive


Today was a very fun day, we had a day with drums. We had Lucy and Johnny from the rhythm interactive to come and teach us how to play the drums. He was also talking to us about how actions can be more powerful than words. In the first bit Lucy and Johnny didn't speak and just showed us how to play the drums. I really enjoyed doing drumming with them because I got to express my emotions through music. Here is the link if you want to visit the site: Rhythm Interactive

Bar Tailed Godwit


This term our inquiry focus was on the Bartailed Godwit but in Maori it is known as the Kuaka. The Yr7's have created a popplet together that tells informations about the appearance, habitat, Migration diet and what effects Godwit/Kuaka in different ways. We also added in some images and videos to give a clear picture of the special bird.  Did you know that they have a 8-9 day non stop flight, this adds up to one whole week and one day which is a short period of time considering they are flying long distance.   We look toward to learn more about the unique birds.
