W8- Dancing away!

One of the students options to show who they are is through dance. This week the students practiced different elements of dance such as locomotive and non-locomotive movements. The students were excellent at supporting each other in performing back and have really begun to think about how they can move their bodies to represent different emotions.

W8, T1: Cross Country and Where are we going?

This Wednesday, we had our cross country. We have been practising all term. The teachers are very proud of all the effort and hard work our students have put in.  Results of the cross country will come out soon. 

For our inquiry we have been looking at who we are and where we are going. We have been looking at the jobs that we want to do in the future. On Thursday, we looked at symbols and how we represent our dream job. After choosing our symbols, we created a collage. 

W7, T1: Ready? Aim. Fire!

While the Year 6 students were busy preparing for camp, the Year 5's learnt lots making and testing catapults.

  

Then we worked in small groups to do a team-building task with a rubber band, wool and plastic cups.

W6, T1: Real Messy Maths

Is that under $20? 

This term, we have been learning that maths happen in real life! Check out photos of our "messy maths" projects.

Here we are trying to plan and budget a meal for our families under $20.

Trying to figure out what are healthy meals.

Negotiating cost. How much does it cost for a kilogram?

W5 T1: Digital Dig

This week Mr V sent us on a digital dig. We had to discover different shortcut commands for our Chrome books. There were so many, we were amazed at what we could do!

W4, T1: Tikanga with Matua

On Wednesday morning,  Matua Jarrod visited us to teach us a haka and sing some songs. This week he taught us the haka powhiri.

We were very proud of Michael, Cristian, Noah and Agnes who led it and helped Matua out.

W3, T1: Using Collaboration to Problem Solve

We have been learning to work in collaborative groups to solve a problem.

In maths, Miss Miller gave us a problem. We have to create target numbers (1-20) using only four 4s e.g. 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 =16.

It was very challenging.
