Fossil Animation

Nathan and Connor have created a 1000 slide animation to share their knowledge of how fossils are formed. They have put heaps of time and effort into their work - please leave them some comments! Great collaboration boys. After pushing the present button simply hold the spacebar down to see the animation in work.

Fossils

The class have been busy learning about how fossils help scientists and palaentologists learn about the evolution of modern day animals and plants. Riley has some great information below.

St Johns Comes to Kaniere

We were really lucky to have the opportunity to have St Johns spend two days in our school earlier this week. Everyone had plenty of time to learn the new skills. An extra bonus was the presentation of a handy sized first aid kit to each student.

Jessie

We have some great athletes in Ruma Tahi. Last weekend it was Jessie's turn to shine.

Riley let Upstart Magazine know about his swimming success and was rewarded with a prize package yesterday. Congratulations!

Anzac Day - Lest We Forget

Over the last week Ruma Tahi students have been busy upskilling themselves as to what life was like for the New Zealand soldiers in World War One and in particular those who fought at Gallipoli. This helped to make the Anzac Day service we held at school far more poignant. We look forward to your comments.

Falling Into Space

Over the last few weeks Ruma Tahi students have been developing artwork entitled - Falling Into Space. The aim was to create the illusion of falling to earth from a far away planet. Students used their actual feet and hands to create the 3D type effect. We look forward to reading your comments.
