New Maths Online Game

We've been introduced to a new online mathematics game by Room 2 this week called Prodigy.
The students can register using thier own gmail address or  they can come and get log in details from me.
Its a very engaging game and an excellent way to practice maths strategies and number knowledge.

Home Learning - Whanaungatanga

The task this week was to describe how you show 'whanau' at home- in particular how you attain and maintain relationships. Or, describe how an animal community works together to maintain their community.
We had some great examples of diligence this week, Here are a few examples to show.

Assembly led by Ruapehu

Thanks to Zoe and Angus. Mr Taylor commended your demeanour today. Great leadership Ruapehu.

Stunning Sunflowers

Thanks Vicky for dropping these off on Monday.
The sunflowers you planted out the front of the school are still putting on a good show.
We really appreciate everything you do around the school to help make our place a lovely spot to work in.

Here's Matua Grant with our chant. Happy Practicing!

Another session of Hit It

Thanks Jess for teaching us some tennis skills on Thursday.

1st Session of GO BANANAZ

Wow, we were so impressed with our new Bible in Schools group today. The topic was honesty which is one of our virtues.
Two big messages:
1. be honest to others
2. be honest to yourself
This message ties in nicely with our positive mindset. When you find yourself in the learning pit don't say "I'm not good at this," as this isn't true. Instead, you can say, "I'm not good at this ...yet!" or "I can work hard to become good at this."

What do you do with lots of left over milk from camp?

Make Milo for everybody at school.
Thanks Hennesy and Shila for pouring out all those cups of yummy warm milo at morning tea time.
