Plotting Coordinates

We have been learning how to plot coordinates. For this activity we had to draw and label our axis and then plot the coordinates to create the picture. Some of us found it hard in the beginning because we forgot that we have to go along the axis first, before we went up or down. Check out some of our blogs for our pwn finished products!

Goodbye Ellie!

Today is a sad day in Totara 2 and 3. Our favourite Teacher Aide Ellie is leaving us. Thank you for all the hard work you have done for us Ellie. We will miss the fun, laughter and hugs you gave us. All the very best for your new venture and don't worry, we will all come and visit. Love you x

The Maze

Toady the Totara Hub was invited to the High School to participate in a workshop they had set up called 'The Maze'. During our time there we learnt how barcodes work, we got to experiment with coding and playing 3-D games, use motion sensors and we even witnessed a 3-D printer in action! This was a really good opportunity for us to think about the new digital curriculum and what we will be able to do when we head to High School. 

Manners Matter

Manners are one of the most important things we need to have in life. As well as following the Grey Main Way, we need to remember that Manners Matter. This week in Totara 2, we are really focusing on using our manners. It is really important that we use our manners towards all adults in the school as well as each other.

Potato Planting

Spring has sprung! Yesterday afternoon we went out to the garden with Mr B and he showed us how to plant potatoes so the Year 8's can eat them at their Year 8 leavers dinner. We found it really interesting learning about how potatoes go to seed and how the grow off each other. We decided that they might need a helping hand so we sprinkled potato fertiliser on them too (but don't tell Kevin!) We are going to keep an eye on them and our next project is planting corn into pots and letting it grow in the greenhouses until we can plant them in our very own corn patch. 

We have also decided that a part of the garden needs a really good tidy so we are going to do that too! Watch this space!
