Mind Lab and Auckland Museum Trip 13/5/15

What an exceptional day!  The children were absolutely buzzing on arrival to school today and the buzz continued throughout the WHOLE day!  What an adventure we had at the Mind Lab and the Museum.

As part of our Inquiry unit this term into How things work, we were lucky enough to be able to visit The Mind Lab.  Here the children learned how to make a computer game and make characters and objects move and react to each other.  They loved this!  The smiles on their faces as they saw their genius come alive on the computer were priceless!  The children were so engaged in this activity and the coolest thing is that they can carry on what they have done at home.  Just ask them to show you what they can do - you'll be so impressed!

After lunch we explored the Auckland Museum.  The children mapped out what they wanted to see and this included one focus area where they researched an area of interest.  Highlights from the Museum exhibitions had to be Gallopoli in Minecraft, the Volcanoes and Weird and Wonderful

A huge thank you to our wonderful parent helpers who could help us on our trip today.  Our trip would never have been possible without your support!

Also, a big thanks to the children of Room 21 for your impressive behaviour and energy throughout the day.  You represented MVS in the most wonderful way - you can be very proud of yourselves.
