Term 2, Week 3

Kia ora whānau,

We have been exploring division in our maths lessons. Here students use cubes to group given numbers into as many equal groups as possible. 



We also had a short extreme weather event on Friday morning. It was quite a distraction so watched it for a few minutes.




Term 2, Week 2

Kia ora whānau,

We used the hall on Wednesday this week to have a team-building activity. Here students took turns guiding their blindfolded partner safely around the hall. After that the children formed two "trains" which were guided around an obstacle course by their classmates. Everyone enjoyed it and they could see it was a good way to develop trust in one another. We will repeat this another time.

Term 2, Week 1

Kia ora whānau,

Welcome back to school! Thank you to the class for settling back into the learning routines that we established in Term 1. It is great to be back to a near-full class of children every day. Here are some lovely photos of various members of the class engaged in peer reading. In this activity, each child reads their text to their buddy. It encourages a love of reading across all levels.
