Mr Frank's Holiday - Catching up With Former Room 1 OPS Students.

Another great part of the holidays is catching up with kids that used to be in room 1. I don't get to see ex-room 1 students during term time because I am busy working and they are busy with their learning or working too. But in the holidays while I'm out and about I often bump into ex room 1 kids.
Over the last few days I've seen lots of ex-room 1 students including Jamie, Dylan, and John. Yesterday was extra special because I had a visit from Jade and his family. They came all the way from Palmerston North to visit us. It was exciting hearing about how much he was enjoying high-school and all about his 2 paper run jobs.
It's always exciting to catch up with former students. Hear what kinds of things they are doing, like being electricians, plumbers, scientists, pilots, skydivers, teachers, farmers ..., amazes me.

Boys Mentoring

Today boys from Rooms 1 and 4 went to "boys mentoring" with Mr Le Prou. Today the boys learnt about the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke engine. The boys also made rafts from a variety of materials. The rafts were tested in the school pool. The boys also had to work out whether they could make an old iron bath float in the school pool.
