"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.

Silver Beet Smoothies!

The unappetizing, sickly green gloop looked up at us. We decided to risk a sip... The silver beet smoothy was surprisingly delicious!

Each desk group in G4 had made their own smoothy recipe (but the main ingredient HAD to be silver beet), we all used the silver beet grown in our class garden and fruits from home. Our ingredients had been prepared earlier in the day

In our smoothy we included silver beet, kiwifruit, strawberries, bananas and a bit of water to blend it together. We watched in excitement as our smoothy got beaten together. We watched the solids liquify in the blender. When the smoothy was mixed we each poured some into our cups.

It was a wonderful experience that we all enjoyed! Many of us liked the smoothy so much we promised to try it at home!
