Freaky Flooding: No School Today

No School Today

What is the weather like where you are? 

(Room 15: Totara students try and take some photos of your backyards and we can share them when we are back at school. Email them to Miss Ogle so we can share them in class)

Here are some photos of what we are experiencing at Opunake Primary School today.

Miss Ogle standing in a puddle (approximately 15-20cm deep) 

Miss Ogle had to stand outside and make sure those that didn't get the message were informed about the school being closed.

Miss Ogle's front lawn was a lake when she woke up.

The school field an hour later. Most of the water has disappeared but there is still a lot of flooding.

Megan from Room 4 took these short clips as she tried to make her way to school this morning (6/8/15). Unfortunately they had to turn back to Hawera and are now enjoying an extra day at home staying safe and dry.

Thank you to Megan and Mr Lodge for letting us share this video

ITM Cup

Here are some more photos of when the ITM Rubgy Cup came to visit our school. You will even find a photo of Mr LeProu who couldn't resist having his photo taken. 

ITM Rugby Cup

Yesterday we were lucky enough to get to see and have a photo with the ITM Cup. The cup came around each classroom and we were able to have a look at it and talk about it. Here are some of the photos taken of us with the cup.

Maths: Fractions

Three days back into the school term and students have been hard at work. 

We have started to look at Fractions in our Maths.

We are learning to find fractions of sets, regions and objects by sharing.

We have also been using Geoboards and rubberbands to create shapes and break them into equivalent fractions.
