Visual Language

Whaea Aimee has encouraged us to enter a competition run by Resene to win art supplies for school. We have to showcase our school to the community somehow. We have decided to beautify the shed by the sandpit with a new mural so we are planning hard to come up with some origional ideas.

Trailing Seesaw

Hi Whanau,
I am keen to use Seesaw as another way to share student learning.
Your child should have brought home a letter with a QR code you will need to scan once you have downloaded the app Seesaw Family.

Here's a video to explain how it works.

Pied Piper

This was the video we watched today, Room 3. Have a listen to all the tunes and think about how they enhance the message of the story. (as well as just enjoying it and having fun!)
Also, keep an eye out for that tuba player!

Visual Language

We are learning how to communicate a message through body language and receive a message through our eyes.
Room 5 joined us for our learning today. We read Anthony Browne's book called Silly Billy and made our own worry dolls.
We looked at how to view illustrations to infer the message and what to notice.
We analysed emoji and infered the meaning of them. We gave message through mime and got the class  to guess the emotion we were communicating. Wow! What a lot of learning we packed into one day.

Term 3 Starts

It was lovely to get back into the classroom after my term as Acting Principal. I've missed all you lovely learners.
Here's some photos of the week's learning.

Hillary Outdoors 2017

During the term, four of our school leaders attended the Hillary Outdoor Pursuits Centre at National Park to attend a leadership workshop.
Here is a snapshot of some of their highlights.

Week 9 - Snapshot of our learning this week

We started off this week with a group of our top runners heading off to BOP Cross Country Champs. The rest of our Matariki Week was a hive of activity. Here's a selection of photos to enjoy.
The hnagi was a huge highlight.
