The Pukeko Hub class is going on a field trip to the Fisher and Paykel factory on Monday July 8th to learn about how refrigerators are made, which aligns with their science topic on states of matter and heat transfer. The class will leave school at 9:30am and return by 12noon. Students need to bring separate morning tea and wear full school uniform and closed shoes. Parents are asked to volunteer to help supervise the 7 students on the trip.

1. Pukeko Hub’s Trip
to
Fisher and Paykel
Monday 8 July 2013
We are very lucky to be going to the Fisher and Paykel factory on Monday 8 July. Maya
Watson’s Dad has arranged for us to visit and find out about how fridges are made. This fits
so well with our ‘Inquiry’ topic in science. We have been learning about solids, liquids and
gases and how heat can change the state of matter. The next step is to learn about heat
transfer and insulation. Perfect!
We will be leaving at 9:30am and arrive in time to have a short break for morning tea.
Children need to bring their morning tea in a separate container so that it can be
transported easily in a group box. The bus will be leaving to come back to school at 12noon.
We expect to be back at school in plenty of time for lunch.
Each student should wear full school uniform and fully covered school shoes. This is a health
and safety requirement for visiting the factory. Children not wearing correct footwear will
not be permitted to go on the trip.
We will need 7 parents to help supervise the children. If you would like to come and help,
please return the slip below as soon as possible. We will get back to you as soon as practical
to let you know further details and confirm your involvement.
Thank you for your support
