Respecting property

During Whanau Time this week, we talked about respecting our school and it's property. Mrs O asked us to come up with a short video, demonstrating how we show respect around our school. The girls chose to showcase graffiti as unfortunately, some of the children in our class think it is ok to draw all over their desks. Thanks Mia, Honor, Ruby and Katelin for stepping up and taking on this project.

Arahura Marae Visit

Today T2, P3, M3 and R4 got the opportunity to go to the Arahura Marae. We were welcomed onto the Marae with a Powhiri which was followed with some Kai. We then went back into the whare and we all introduced ourselves with our Mihi. Matua T then told us stories about the marae and the carvings that were inside. We learnt a lot about our local history and think that the marae is a beautiful place. Here is a photo of our group outside the marae. Thank you to Whaea Katie who took us for practices so we were prepared. We truly are blessed to live in such a beautiful place!

Maths Puzzle

Today Miss Hines gave us a challenging maths puzzle where we were given a grid and some numbers and we had to fit the numbers into the grid. Some of us found this particularly challenging - especially the girls, but the boys worked together and with team work they managed to finish it (they couldn't beat Miss Hines though!) The boys were so engaged, it was great to see! We enjoyed this so much that we might make this a weekly challenge!
