On Tuesday and Wednesday this week the Junior Syndicate visited the Tauranga Airport and Classic Flyers museum. They "saw planes taking off and landing", "Brian the Fireman told us all about the yellow airport fire engine", "We had fun pretending to fly to Fiji", and "Mrs Field even got a ride in a glider", "the military museum was very interesting" and "We enjoyed eating our lunch in the sunshine" was some of the feedback. A great time was had by all - thankyou to all the parents who helped us.

On Wednesday the 16th of June Bethlehem School sent 3 teams of 4 kids to compete at the Young Einstein’s Competition at Matua Primary – the teams were:

Team 1; Richard, Aston, Becky and Blake
Team 2; Kingsley, Elliot, Holly and Shayni
Team 3; Carys, Amy, William and Tom

There were 9 rounds of different topics with mind boggling questions. The topics were:

• General Knowledge
• Name the Face
• Science and Nature
• Sport
• Name the Flag
• Current Events
• New Zealand
• Geography
• Entertainment

Congratulations to all the teams especially team 3, who received 1st place and will represent Bethlehem Primary at the Western Bay Competition on Wednesday 30th of June, at Selwyn Ridge School. Good luck to team 3!!!!!
 

The BK Council kids ran an Easter Competition for the Junior, Middle and Senior syndicate kids to enter. Participants were asked to make some 3D Easter eggs, and/or colour in an Easter egg and leave their entries in the library. The judging took place on Friday 26th March by the 6 BK Council kids (with the help of Mrs Nichols) who viewed and judged the entries.

TECHNOLOGY CENTRE

On the 15th of June the Tech Kids went to the Technology Centre on 4th Ave in town. We got shown around the centre and first we saw the place where they keep the laptops over night. They have everything to secure the place from burglaries. They haven’t had a burglary in 18 months. Then we went to see the Apple computers in the work shop (“The Light Side”). We got to see the inside of a desk top and a laptop computer. There’s about 5,000 little buttons in just a laptop. Laptops are more expensive because they have to be more compact. The other side of the shop is the Windows side of the shop (also known as “The Dark Side”). When we were on the Windows side we got shown the inside of a computer properly. The man showed us the hard drive and the memory board. We were allowed to keep the memory board as a present from the Techno Centre. At the end we got to take photos of each other on the Apple computer. It was funny because the photos were all squished up. There was one funny one of Matt because he looked like Bart Simpson. Then we went back to school and went back to class.
