"Science is a way of investigating, understanding and explaining our natural world, physical world and wider universe" (NZ Curriculum).

Students need to lean what science is and how scientists work as well as scientific knowledge.

Science programmes at Eastern Hutt aim to provide hands on investigations that will develop students' curiosity of the world around us and an interest in science.

Science Inspires Poetry

After learning about fossils a year 6 class wrote poetry inspired by the fossils they had seen. Here is an amazing poem written by Hazel.

The past, trapped in castings of stone.
Bars of rock block my way, jail of the underworld.
My body is being compressed ever so slowly down to the depths of the earth.
Memories of the past come rushing back as I am unearthed.
Preserved secrets finally unlocked stare with eyes full of wisdom back at me.
