❤❤❤TRIGGER WARNING - Some of these photos are not for the faint hearted (pun intended) ❤❤❤

This week Rangimārie have been exploring the anatomy of the heart, all thanks to the incredible resources provided in the House of Science kit.

As an exciting extension activity I thought it might be exciting to do a dissection of a real heart. ❤

This is where our incredible whānau leapt into action!
Within 12 hours Emma Coppins had sourced fresh sheep hearts. and Colleen Brophy Buenz let us borrow some dissection equipment.
Then Eric offered to jump into class today to help us navigate our way around the cutting, chopping, and exploration of the anatomy.

❤It was awesome!❤

Thank you whānau for jumping onboard and helping me make these crazy ideas become a reality for Rangimārie.

It’s been a busy week at SPC, and we’re excited to finish it by showing our support for people in our community who are affected by cancer 🌼

Remember to wear a splash of yellow and bring along a koha to support Daffodil Day.

A special thank you to Aaliyah, Marlee, Maya, Sophie, Cooper, Nikhil, Sonny and Rykerr who joined an amazing group of local volunteers to deliver and sell daffodils to businesses throughout our community this week. We are so proud of the kindness, confidence and understanding they showed 💛

Together, we can show people affected by cancer that we care and that they are not alone 🌼

Today Rangimārie celebrated our class members who have Filipino achestry by creating traditional Filipino Christmas star decorations called a parol.

They symbolise the Star of Bethlehem and represent hope, shared faith, and light during the holiday season.

Holiday Season? I know, it’s only September!

But did you know that in the Philippines Christmas decorations start going up in September and stay up in homes until January? How cool is that!

Thank you Rykerr, Sophie, Willow-Fe and Euriiyah for sharing this beautiful tradition with us!
