Taiopenga

On Wednesday a few children from Room 19, alongside many other children represented Witherlea School at the Taiopenga Kapa Haka Festival.

Lots of preschools, kindergartens and schools take part. This is the 2nd year our school has taken part in this awesome event.

Witherlea school tamariki, you did us very proud!!

How long is one metre....we think we know now!

Today we used our new measurement knowledge to look around the school for things we estimated would measure a metre. We then used the metre rulers to see if we were right. Look at all the things we found that measured exactly 1 metre in our school environment.

                          

                                  

                                

Using 1 metre rulers

We had to estimate and check today in maths, using 1 metre rulers with our buddies.

Football fun!

We had a great time practicing our football skills with Tash from Marlborough Football today. Thanks Tash we had a great time!

We're expanding

Room 19 is getting bigger.

Welcome to our 3 new class members.

Ruby is back from Australia & Sarai and Desmond join us from the North Island. It's lovely to have you all!

Kowhaiwhai Panels

Wow! Room 19 is looking amazing! We have been working hard to get our Kowhaiwhai panels finished and up on the ceiling. Come and have a look as we turn our classroom into a wharenui, as we learn about Marae protocol before our visit to Waikawa Marae. 

Swim time!

We are enjoying our bus ride to the Stadium each day and our fantastic swimming lessons!
