Cams Big Pumpkin
On April 4 East Taieri had a pumpkin competition. My Grandad brought down the biggest pumpkin that I have ever seen. Luke, Sarah, Jordan and I judged the competition and handed all the prizes out. There were a range of different pumpkins in all shapes and sizes. My pumpkin was 142kg and we had to roll it into the library. A man from Taieri Herald came to interview me.

Emma's Visit to the Mahinerangi Windfarm
In the weekend Emma went to the Mahinerangi Wind Farm Open Day. During news toady she presented a poster about wind turbines and told us about her visit.
Here is the information she wrote on her poster:
How does a windfarm work?Wind turbines capture energy from the wind and turns it into electricity. As the wind blows and passes across the blades of a turbine, it creates lift and slowly turns the blades. The blades are connected to a main shaft, which also spins and leads into a generator. The generator converts the rotational energy from the blades to electricity. Electricity passes through a transformer and transmission t=lines to reach the main grid where it can be transported to homes, businesses and other consumers.
Facts:
* The 12 wind turbines generate enough electricty to power 13,000 Dunedin homes.
* The turbines are 132m tall.
* A turbine blade is 44m long.
Great poster thanks Emma!

Studio 1
In Room 1 we have an oral language programme called Studio 1. The children have a range of oral presentations to choose from and they present these on a Tuesday or Thursday. On Thursday Blake taught us how to make friendship bracelets. We were very impressed with his organisation and love our new bracelets. Thanks Blake.
