Values assembly

Well done Jaya and Elaine for showing the school values. 

We are pushing waste free lunch at our school. How can we help each other achieve this?

Inquiry learning

Pukeko and Takahe.

We read an article about the recent shooting of four Takahe that were mistaken for Pukeko. 
We decide  to find our more about each and did a venn diagram to compare them.
We definitely  can tell the difference between each.

Junior assembly

Today we had Junior assembly.
We'll done  Serina, Wilson, Brooklyn and Cindy for receiving a certificate. Keep up the awesome work.

We also did an item with room 10 using boom whackers and then sang a poem Popcicle.
It was outstanding!

Another fantastic item at assembly was the Kapa Haka performance. Fabulous performance!

Inquriy learning - Animals

INQUIRY - Animals

Today we sorted out the animal cards, We had to categorise them into groups like scientists do. 

What groups did your team have? 

What other groups could you make?

Then we grouped them into size....

Science experiments

How clean are you hands?
We are looking at how clean our hands are in room 8. We used a control (untouched) piece of bread. A piece touched with freshly washed and clean hands and a piece that everyone touched.

Check out the mould that is growing on our bread.

Remember its important to wash your hands.
