Waiheke Sculpture Trail

Last week a group from Team Five had the opportunity to take the ferry to visit the Headland Sculpture on the Gulf on Waiheke Island.

Thanks so much to our wonderful guide, Charlotte who invited us to the island, led  us through the hills and helped us explore the amazing sculptures.

HIGHLIGHT Summer Holiday Programme 2017 9 - 27 January Wow, what a full on and enjoyable holiday we've had. The activities ranged from a remake of The Hunger Games in the movie making class with Sandy, graffiti art and breaking in the square between us and the library, Chantel's Saturday students roaming the town centre taking photos for poster making and more than 70 young people learning from Jay from Mika Haka Foundation and Joash from Pacific Dance.   A highlight for the staff was seeing young people grow in confidence in the dance classes. Some even danced in the reception foyer to demonstrate what they've learned. Highlights from the Summer Holiday programme 2017

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes in Matter in the Maker Space!

Liquid was probably the matter we noticed the most in term four because of the foamy, bubbly, slimy, oily glorious exploding mess all over the Maker Space.

 The Liquids we used included  water, milk, detergent, cooking oil, hydrogen peroxide, PVA glue, hair conditioner and food colouring.
However we also included Solids including cornflour, butter, cardboard, PLA filament (3D printing 'ink') and wire in our experiments.

Of course we would not have been able to change matter without the invisible Gasses of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.

 The change in temperature that the friction of our hands, the reacting chemicals , the hot 3D printer and the even hotter sun provided the final, essential ingredient! 

End of year Maker Space Party!

Thanks to all the Screenminions, 3D Team, Labyrinth and Manaiakalani Film Festival production who came along to our end of year Maker Space party yesterday!
