Celebration Of Learning

Wow! What a fantastic night we had last night. All the classes showed, explained or demonstrated what we have been learning about in Maoritanga this term.
We have all learnt so much about Maori culture, and Room 3 certainly learnt some new skills when researching information and presenting it to an audience.

Here are a few photos...

I hope you all have a great holiday!

What a brilliant day we all had at school today. The student council organised a WHEELS DAY. Lots of us brought rollerblades or scooters to school and had a BLAST, zooming around the courts ...

As an extra treat ... we were able to order spiders (not the creepy-crawly kind) and lollies!

 



But wait ... there's more!
Miss Campbell organised a group of Japanese students (from IPC) to come and perform the drums. WOW! They were incredible.

 



 



Thanks to the student council, Miss Simpson and Miss Campbell for organising this fun day for us.

Fun Day Coming Up!

Inquiry Learning

We are working hard on our Inquiry projects in small groups. We have chosen to explore different parts of Maori culture and present it in a Powerpoint presentation.

We started off brainstorming ideas on what we already knew about our topic. Then decided on questions we wanted to find answers to. We jotted ideas on where we could go to, or who to ask, to get information.

We found books on our topics, and some of us collected information from home with the help of our parents. We also found a lot of information and helpful pictures from the internet.

Of course, we also learn by DOING!

Some of us are now organising and sorting the information we have collected, to share what we've learnt. Stay tuned ...
