Aquarium Visit


Linking to our Term Two topic based on Forces of Nature, Room 3 will be taking a trip to the National Aquarium of New Zealand in Napier to explore and learn about earthquakes, tsunami and volcanic eruptions.  Hands-on and engaging activities will set a solid framework for their learning.  Students will use bottles filled with liquids to simulate tsunami; they will mix various ingredients to create their own volcano; and build examples of strong and weak houses to see which is strongest in an earthquake.

Date: Friday 9 June 2017
