PAPER PLANE DESIGN

The challenge was on today. We researched different paper plane designs to test which ones would fly the best. We followed folding instructions online and used scales to weigh them. Once our designs were complete, we measured how far they would fly. Some flew extremely well...onto the roof. 😜 The winning paper plane flew a distance of 15.62 metres.

OUR PHOTO WALL

It was great to have some parents pop in to look at our photo wall. The purpose of this wall is to show how we exhibit the school values, cultural competencies and the 3 principles under the Treaty of Waitangi. Our Room 9 students feel a sense of pride and love to show off how well we are doing as a team.

SWIMMING SPORTS

We had a fantastic day at our senior school swimming sports. The weather was stunning. Our students encouraged each other during races and enjoyed the fun swim afterwards. A huge thank you to those parents that came along.

STEM CHALLENGE - MARBLE ROLLER COASTER

Today Room 9 worked in groups to construct a marble rollercoaster. Our teams worked really hard, problem solving, collaborating, and showing persistence when it became challenging. Great work team!

CHARCOAL EXPERIENCE

As an exploration in using a variety of media for art the Room 9 team used charcoal. Most had never used charcoal before so we spent the afternoon experimenting with different techniques. A lot of fun and very messy .

PAINTING FRIENDSHIP ROCKS

We created some beautiful rocks for our class entrance. These will be made into stepping stones for outside our room. Awesome work!

WEAVING

We made some weaving art as a symbol of how we are all different but when we work in together we can create something beautiful. This was integrated with our learning our the Treaty of Waitangi (He Tiriti o Waitangi).
