Merit awards

Ka pai Oliver and Zatori. You two have been putting in a great deal of effort into your learning lately and it has been noticed. Keep this up, we're all very proud of you!!!

Waikawa Marae

We had the best experience at Waikawa Marae yesterday. The tangata whenua (hosts) were so welcoming and taught us a lot! We were taught by not only the Marae hosts but also some students from Queen Charlotte College. We took part in learning all about the carvings in the wharenui, how to weave with flax, we learnt and sung a Haka and we learnt a song to use rakau sticks too. We saw the kowhaiwhai patterns we had been learning about and creating at school and experienced a hongi. It was a day full of new experiences and fun!

Athletics

Friday was our first time competing in the school's athletics day. It was great to finally use the skills we had been learning and put them into practice. We competed in high jump, long jump, quoits, shotput, and sprints. It was a fantastic day outside the classroom!

Measuring with hands!

We used our hands to measure areas of the classroom! It was fun and noisy!

Measuring time!

We used cubes to measure classroom objects. First we had to estimate and then check to get an actual measurement.
