Term 3

We have started Term Three off with a hiss and a roar. Room Totara has jumped right back into lots of work.

Today we saw the launch of Mana the Lion and all of our PRIDE rewards. Each class received a box of goodies with PRIDE Certificates, Mana Moments, Mana Tick-its, Principals/Deputy Principal's Certificates and our very own Mana.

We have a very large Mana the Lion (80cm tall) which Room 12 were proud to be presented with for the week. They were the best class during Assembly this week. Room 15 hope to receive Mana proudly in the next few weeks by demonstrating PRIDE in Assembly.

These students were just some of the students who received Mana Moments in class today:

Mazzlin and her Gecko

Today Mazzlin brought in a gecko that her family found. They were able to go on the internet and find out what types of things gecko like to eat and what to do to look after it.

Thanks for bringing it in to show us.

Can you spot the Gecko?

Whiteboard Table

We have been getting some great new equipment to use in our classrooms this week. While Teachers were in Auckland they saw schools using whiteboard tables. We asked Mr Wright if he could paint our large table with whiteboard paint. In the photo below you see Mazzlin, Connor and Reece using the table to help with their Inquiry work.

Reading - Super Senses

This week for Shared Reading we have been reading about Super Senses. We read about dolphins and how they use 'echolocation' to identify where objects are. We tried it out for ourselves.

Our Treasures (taonga)

 Last week we looked at treasures that families might have from family members relating to Anzac's and WWI. Students thought about what treasures they have and some even brought them in share with the class. Below are some photos of treasures (or taongas) that are important to us.
