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

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.

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.
