Suzy's World

This week Mrs Ware has been showing us some short DVD's made by Suzy Cato (I'm sure lots of parents remember her!)

She has been showing us about how the moon changes shape, what life is like on other planets and why satellite's don't fall out of the sky.

We LOVE Suzy because she explains things really well and she is quite silly and funny.

Mrs Ware got the DVD's from Napier library - they are free to rent! There is a whole series on all sorts of science ideas.

There is also a website http://www.suzy.co.nz If you are interested
