Pyjama Day

Pyjama day at school was heaps of fun.

Here we are during developmental, the conversations and collaboration around their creations were awesome!

Hosting Assembly

We hosted Assembly for the whole school. Everyone that wanted to got to speak.

Eva, Korbyn and Andrew shared their mihis.

Ivy, Ma'ake, Agnes and Amika spoke about our bird feeders.

Great job everyone!

Outside Measuring

Today one maths group were outside measuring and comparing. Here are some photos of them using non-standard units to measure in.

Solving Perimeter of Classroom items

Measurement today was very hands on. We worked out tips for measuring which included using the same materials and not having gaps. Myles made his own special tip chart.

The Birds Come to School

Big thank you to Sarah Ward for bringing in some of her birds for the junior school. We enjoyed looking at their wings, beaks and claws up really close. Some even got to stroke the kereru (wood pigeon).

Then Eva thanked Sarah on behalf of all the juniors. She informed Sarah which were her favourite birds and we all clapped to show our appreciation of looking at the birds close up.

Bird Houses

We loved making up some kits that Mrs Watson bought. There were 2 bird feeders, a wind chime and a windmill.

Soon we will design our own bird feeders and will be on the hunt for materials to build with from home. If you have any plywood, clean containers or beads that you could donate please send them to class.

Room 3 rocking maths

In maths we are working in groups to unpack a maths word problem. We have to work out if we are adding, subtracting or multiplying the key numbers in the problem.

Everyone loves showing the other groups how they solved the problem.
