We were very fortunate to have a visit from Dr Richard McKenzie. He has worked as a research scientist with the National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA) and is based at Lauder in Central Otago. He visited Room 1 so that we could ask him some of our questions about the sun and ultraviolet rays.
Richard’s research focuses on UV radiation. He is New Zealand’s foremost scientist in the study of UV and its effects. What a luck class we were to meet someone so famous and interesting!
Maho came to take us for our second lesson on Japanese culture. Today she talked to us about origami. Maho and her friends made these for the people of Christchurch after the first earthquake to show people that they were thinking about them.
Maho showed us some of the different creations that she can make out of paper.
We had a go at making a Samurai helmet.
We thought this would be a great plan to follow if we ever forgot our sunhats!
Thank you Maho!
