Para kore (Zero Waste)

As part of our Te Reo lesson this week we learnt that we have to take care of Papatuanuku and our kura so we went out into the playground and collected up rubbish.  We made sure our playground was free from litter.

Look at all the rubbish we collected!

Jade's Duffy Certificate

Jade got a Duffy Certificate and a book for her performance with the senior Kapa Haka group for the Manaiakalani Group.  What courage you showed to perform with the older children, Jade! (You can see her performance on the school blog page under the heading Maori.)

Making Kihu

We made kihu with Whaea Saffron.  Inside the machine the kihu kernals spun around to become fluffy white kihu.  We put the kihu into a peke.  Thank you Whaea Saffron for our healthy snack.  By Leigharna

Maths with our iPads

We practiced using the iPad tools we learnt about this week with our maths lesson.  Jade is taking a photo of her bears on the tens frame while Ryder and Kohatu show what they are able to do.  Well done Class 16 for your great listening in getting the job done.  Class 16

No Play Today

The rain came down in big heavy drops.  It made us run fast back to class.  Then there was loud thunder.  We were brave and watched out the window as the rain made big puddles.  Co-constructed story by Room 16 after the thunder storm.

Jade's Duffy Award

Jade has been working hard at all her learning and she was awarded a Duffy Certificate for her great attitude .  She chose "The Best Dressed Bear" book.  Thank you Jade for sharing your book with us -we enjoyed listening to another story about Toby and Tim. Class 16

A photo of a photo?

We had to find something yellow to take a photo of and Anthony took a photo of Phoenyx's yellow sneakers.  Jade wanted to see if she could take a photo of Anthony's photo on his iPad.  Witari and Kamryn watched to see what would happen.  You can see what our clever children did.
