Science

Last week Muritai celebrated our love of Science by dedicating a whole week to it! Room 24 were lucky enough to have a visit from James McKay, a physics lecturer at Weltec. They were focusing on the laws of physics to create a motorised car using a mousetrap and string! A special thanks to Caryn Ellis for organising the day so James could share his expertise with us and Sarah Turk for assisting on the day.













To conclude Science Week Barbara Ryan and her science committee organised a Rocket Launching Competition. The brief was to create a rocket using a soft drink bottle, water and a bike pump. The winning class would be the highest flying rocket. Congratulations to Room 15 which clearly won the event. Room 23's rocket was the highest rocket from the Senior School.
