How do engines work?

Today our literacy group had a trip into town to see Dennis at Paeroa Auto Spares and Andy, Aaron & Darren at Whyteline to help us understand how engines work.
We all learnt the different parts of engines and had some hands on experience with how they work together to make cars, tractors and motorbikes move.

A huge thanks to both business' for taking time out of their day to help us.

Grandparent's Day in 'The Hub'.

Well....what a fantastic day we had by all yesterday at Netherton School. It was grandparent's day and we had around 80 grandparents come and spend the day with us. Children had the opportunity to share some of their learning and the grandparents shared games, books and activities that they used to play when they were at school.
The children and grandparents made some beautiful artwork as a keepsake of the day.
Thank you to all grandparents and friends of the school for coming and sharing the day with us!!
Here are just a few pics!
