Term 3 Week 8 Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

 We had fun during Te Wiki o te Reo Māori learning a new phrase each day. We also read lots of books in Māori and sang some songs. 

We also had Wheels day on Rāpare. Kids, scooters, bikes and skateboards everywhere. 

Term 3 Week 7 Tongan Language Week

 We really enjoyed  Tongan Language week. We sung some Tongan songs and practised a couple of Tongan phrases.

We also had a visit from some students who showed some of the taonga from their families. We also enjoyed wearing Tongan shirts or bright clothing on Friday.

We had Rimu assembly this week and had a special visit by another school SuperHero - Taytum. He made an impressive entrance on his ride-on mower! Congratulations also to our Certificate winners this week - Madeleine, Hanna and Sione. Well done!!

In Maths we have been looking at patterns and we were using blocks to build pyramids/triangles to see how many blocks we would need. Each layer had to have one more block than the layer before. 

Term 3 Week 6

 Rimu Nui have started meeting in the morning for our School Pepeha and song and sometimes for a bit of fitness. 

We also had Phil come to talk to us about what to do if someone is being unkind online (the first two work for offline too!)

Finally congratulations to our Certificate winners this week. Muhammad, Frida and Aurora. Well done!!

Term 3 Week 4 Maths - One is a snail ten is a crab

 

In Maths we are looking at making different numbers. First, inspired by this book we used different animals to make numbers. For example 13 is 1 crab, a person and a snail. 45 could be 4 crabs, 2 people and a snail or 4 crabs, a dog and a snail.

Then we used some dominoes to make different numbers. We found many different ways to make them! Here we are making 14. 

Here is Charlie finding different ways to make 16. 

Term 3 Week 3

 We had Rimu assembly this week and this term we are looking at Superheros at Owairaka. We had a special guest - Rachel from reception came to talk to us about her job. 

Congraulations to our certificate winners this week - Zoe, Toby and Mason for their great work in class. Kristina for going to the next stage with her Phonics - well done!

This term Room 14 are doing music with Ms Landall every Thursday and are having an amazing time and doing very well.
