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).

CLASS TREATY

As a class, we discussed how we want our classroom to be so that we can all optimise our learning. We talked about respect for each other, caring for ourselves and each other and our responsibilities as a team. When we all agreed on our class rules we signed our agreement or treaty. This is a document that we made together so that our classroom is a safe and happy environment.

ALL ABOUT US

Our focus for these first few days is to learn all about each other. Where we are from, what are our favourite activities, how we learn best.
