In our class during Maths time we move around Maths Stations. We  enjoy the flexibility this gives us. It has been important or us to learn about URGENCY, and getting started quickly.
This is helping us to achieve our learning goals more quickly and also enjoy our maths learning time.

LOVE SONG TO THE EARTH - In thanksgiving for Pope Francis' Encyclical - ...

Luandato Si"

Our faith calls us to care for creation as a gift of God's love.

Inspired by Church teaching and in the light of Pope Francis encyclical, Laudato Si', we have been reflecting on our responsibility to care for the world that God has made.

Building Rangitiratanga.

Room 5 have been discussing how we are called to carry on Jesus Mission here on Earth-Rangitiratanga. We each chose one step that we could take to carry on this work here in this classroom, in the playground and here at school.

Nova from the Heart Foundation came and taught us how to check out the labels and make decisions for healthy meal choices. Having the information we need is helpful and gives us what we need to make informed choices.

Healthy bodies, healthy minds, healthy futures

LEAF VARIATIONS- COLLABORATIVE ACTIVITY

 While some of the students were at the Inter School Athletics, the remaining Room 5 and 6 combined to engage in a collaborative learning activity matching leaf pictures and using their key features to label them.
Those who had just been away at Camp Rangiwood were able to make the connections with this activity and the variety of trees and shrubs etc the saw in the bush.
Great discussions were had distinguishing between the terms native, endemic and exotic.
 What great akonga these kids are!!!
