Christmas Baking

Mini Athletics

The rain did not stop us today enjoying some athletics activities in the hall. We competed in 'Egg and Spoon', Javelin, Moon Hopper and Running Races. We showed kindness to others by showing Year 0 students how to compete in the activities. We were awesome buddies!

Well done Chloe and Daniel

Congratulations Chloe and Daniel for earning a certificate at the Koru Whanau Assembly this week.

Thank you Mrs Prentice

Today we said farewell to Mrs Prentice. She has been our Bible Education teacher and has visited us every Tuesday. We have loved her stories and reminding us to be kind and caring towards each other. 

Thank you Mrs Prentice!

Giant Walk

Today we went for a 'Giant Walk' to promote healthy living. 

We walked down to the 'Snakes and Ladders' park with our Year 6 buddies.

What an awesome time we had.

The Learning Pit

Room 21 has been talking a lot about how we learn and the different stages of learning.

We are using the picture below to help us talk about where we are at with our learning.

We would love to hear of times when you have struggled with your learning and been stuck in the 'pit', but kept trying until you were successful.

Technology-Creating our designs

Over the past few weeks the students have used the inquiry process to design a toy or game. 
Today our designs 'came to life'.

After we created, we presented our invention to the class and our Year 6 buddies. Of course we had to spend some time testing each others designs!

Designing, problem solving, collaborating, communicating at its best!
