Term 3

What a start to the term! We have a new reading and writing programme that everyone is finding super interesting! After discussions with the students we found that animals were a topic of interest so we decided that learning about sea creatures would be a great way to kick off term 3.

Here is a link to the sea life literacy programme

We also had some very successful Year 5 rippa rugby students competing at the Northland regional championships. They finished first equal in their pool but did not play in the semi finals on a technicality. Great work by those students.

Matariki Madness!

On Thursday 27th of June we had a very early start at school. Some people arrived at 5am! We were there to celebrate Matariki by going down to the beach to see the Matariki constellation and share a delicious breakfast.

Later that day we had a rotation of various activities in class. One group helped to prepare our class garden for planting, another group learnt how to make a traditional Maori porotiti and the other group did a science experiment to make chocolate mousse.

We had such an awesome time and to top that all off we got to play the rest of our KidsCan fundraising games!
