Notice to go home on Monday Pirate Battle **When: 9am Friday 26th August ** **Where: Hanmer Hot Pools **  This has been focussed around technology which is our curriculum area focus for this inquiry. The main ideas being that; technology has changed the way we live, there are positive and negative impacts of technology, and technology is used to make things work in particular ways.  While making these defence items we have been thinking about how technology is used to make things work in particular ways. We have also been reflecting on how weapons have changed over time and the effects they have had, both positive and negative.
 * Why: **As you might have heard from your children we have created an imaginary community (Nānia) earlier this year, where everyone chose a job to do that contributed to our community, as part of our enterprise theme. Recently Nānia has come under threat of attack by pirates who wish to steal our land and possessions. To defend our town we have had to build boats and defence machines.

What you need to know: - On Friday we will finally be meeting the pirate horde that has been threatening to attack our town of Nānia. We will be taking our war machines down to the Hot Pools where we will try to stop the pirate ships from landing on our shores. - You are welcome to come along and watch the spectacle. If you want to meet us at the Hot Pools just watch out for the pirates that might already be there. - After the battle the children will be allowed to have a short swim and we will return to school by morning tea (10:40) - There will be a shared lunch on the day so please don't send a packed lunch or order a lunch, instead a plate appropriate for lunch would be good (not party food).

Children need to: - come dressed in their togs with school uniform over the top. - bring a towel. - bring their machine to school if it is not already there.
