Kia ora koutou

As part of our Te Reo programme, senior students will be visiting Rehua Marae. This is a fantastic opportunity for our tamariki to experience first-hand some of the practices and tikanga we have been learning about in class.

Room 3, Room 5 and some of Room 2 go today Tuesday 14th October. Room 1, Room 6 and the rest of Room 2 will go on Tuesday 21st October. We will travel by bus, leaving shortly after 9am and returning by 3pm.

If you have any questions please come and see me in Room 2.

Inquiry Weeks 8 and 9


The children will be looking at how these inventions changed history, how it affects our daily life today and what it could mean for our future.

On the Homework page there are some you tube clips on famous innovative, creative and enterprising people that have helped shape our world.

Also the class is starting a weekly hotspot of the work that needs to be completed this week. It will be done during school time and as homework if the need is there. This includes the normal spelling and reading homework but is helping the students to maintain or increase their self management. This hotspot checklist will be in their topic books and on the Google Drive.

We created wordles from our narrative writing. These show the most common words in our writing. It gives us one way to think about our writing and how to improve it.

Visual Language

In Room 3 we have been learning about Visual Language.

First we looked at the colour chart.
Then we did a brainstorm in our writing books about ideas for an advertisement.
Then we chose a product to advertise.
Then we did a plan of how we wanted to present it.
Then we did a draft in our Writing books.
Then we went on the computers to research and create our ad.

Here is what we have done.
