We are the LPS Energy Detectives. At lunch time we go round the classrooms to check who turns their lights off. We want all the classroom lights to be off at play breaks to save money and energy. Our job is to keep a tally of who has left lights on or off. At each assembly we will be handing out the shield and a certificate to the winning classroom.the first winner is team 3

TORO PIKOPIKO PUPPETS PUPPET SHOW
By Shayna and Kai



On the 13th of June 30 students from syndicate three walked over to the Event Centre to witness a puppet show by Toro Pikopiko Puppets. The puppets were based on rock art done by Maori inhabitants in Opihi, Timaru. The puppet show was a re-telling of a maori legend (the journey of Pourakahua - the half bird half man, who had abnormal arm and leg length making him lonely and an outcast. During the legend pourakahua meets fishermen, hunters,dolphins, lizards,geckos and taniwha before finding a flock of eagles.

This is some of the rock art from Opihi which were included as
some of the puppets in the show.

During the show students from weedons and Lincoln were asked to help with the show and become junior puppeteers, during the show at the event centre Pourakahua traveled with his wings to a cave full with stinky bats and another cave with stinky glow worms, a group of hunters with dogs and a eagle family at the end to stay with.

Luckily Lincoln Primary were offered a workshop and were taught a few skills about puppeteering and were allowed to have a play with the puppets and make a mini show to share with the others students.

Science with Mr Roozen

We have had our second lesson with Mr Roozen. We tested 6 different types of paper towels for absorbency. To be precise and accurate we had to be aware of the meniscus (the curve seen at the top of the water).
Here are some photos.
