Room Ten Pounamu Art

In Room Ten, We have been learning and making Pounamu or Greenstones. Some of us are currently working on drawing their's and some of us are practicing making our Pounamu with Play-Doh. We are all making different designs of Greenstones. Some are making the Swirl design (Koru), Fish Hook (Hei Matau), Adze (Toki) and more! After we practice and draw our designs we will make it with plasticine or clay. We have been having so much fun while researching and learning about Pounamu and Greenstones

Rakau

At the beginning of the year, teachers were asked to set some goals and I set a goal to learn to use Rakau! Last term, and into the start of this term, I have had the pleasure of learning rakau alongside some fantastic Room 10 students! Ka Pai Room 10...

He waka eke noa

Week 1 Term 3

This week has been an exciting week as students have been preparing for the Opening Ceremony for the new school hall next week. Students have enjoyed being part of the cultural performance groups and choir and I hope everyone has purchased their tickets ready to attend the opening next week.

Literacy

Students are nearly ready with their presentations on 100 years ago and Mrs Walters and I are looking forward to watching these next week. Students have put so much effort into them and it will be great to see!

Numeracy 

This term, we are doing a unit on Area and Perimeter and students have enjoyed discovering what area and perimeter is.

KiwiCan

Room 10 won the Kiwican prize this term and were treat to a morning of treats and games. Kiwican gives students a score out of 15 every lesson, and the class from the Kokari block who has the most total points is rewarded at the end of each term. Well done Room 10!

Matariki Breakfast

Last week students had the opportunity to participate in Matariki breakfast - this was a great morning had by all and students enjoyed sharing food with other members across the Kokari block. They then had time to reflect on Matariki and share their knowledge in Room 11.

World Record Setting

For the last few weeks, Room 10 has had the privilege of receiving a kit from schoolkit.co.nz in order to complete their own world records. This tied in extremely well with our measurement unit and students were able to use their intuitive minds to figure out how they would make a world record of their own using the secret formula that school kit provided us with. We then managed to compete against each other to see who could get the world record.

PB4l Look after your belongings

Across the school this week, we have been focusing on looking after our belongings. Students have identified what this means to them and as a class - we conducted a drama role play to identify what might happen if we do not look after our belongings. Students have also enjoyed singing Lost Property Box which you can access here:
