MOTUEKA SANDSPIT
The Year 3-6 students have been using the Motueka Sandspit as their outdoor classroom for their inquiry around the theme of Change.
Makarn Senior went on a hunt for crabs and shells on his first visit to Sandspit.
Anais Woodman and Tesori Bailey take a quiet moment to sketch their surroundings.
Alana Petrie works on her sculpture.
Amber Trewavas and Zaria Hewetson sit back having completed their art work.
Carter Beatson wrote this description of the sculpture he created on his second visit to the Motueka Sandspit:
Standing high in the air, the fragile driftwood sculpture goes on a continuous loop beside a separate bridge.
Carter said this about his writing: “It’s so easy to write when you’ve made something and actually had the experience.”
Motueka Sandspit – 18.3.19 (A Cloudy Day) Journal Reflection
When walking over the beach our feet are gently splashed. Further on, chocolate mud lay over the ground like damp clay. The moist air, not warm, not cold blows gently into our faces. With the rotting logs and the variety of seaweed colours, the beach shone with nature and amazing structures of the earth leapt out.

TECHNOLOGY AT TASMAN
Year 7 - 8 students have made a great start to Technology this year. Students are provided with opportunities to develop their culinary skills, enhance their creativity and learn fundamental design principles. They are working toward designing their own healthy lunch and creating a photographic display promoting healthy lunch options.
STINGRAY DISSECTION
Something fishy went down at the Tasman Campus last month with this foul-hooked sting-ray wrestled from the sea by Trenton, Zach and Burkley thanks to a guiding hand from Mr John Woodman. The short-tailed ray left a lasting impression (and a strangley persistant odour) on the Year 11 Science class who dissected it with Mr Brooks as part of their Life Processes Topic.
