We have been doing some awesome Matariki math. We have: played strategy games around the 7 stars; doing fishing basic facts; and doing budgeting through harvesting activities. Check out some photos of our learning!

House Sports

On Friday we got dressed up into our house colours and got to play a range of sports and games including: chuck the chicken, cross the line, pool noodle hockey, bucket turning, flags, relays, tug-o-war and sack racing.

Some of the teachers even got dressed up too. It was a lot of fun!

Te Rangimarie Marae

We visited Te Rangimarie Marae, it was a wet day but we had a great time! We got to visit the Wharenui and we shared our pepeha. Mrs Te Awe Awe taught the gils poi and the boys learnt the haka with Mr Te Awe Awe.
Logan from Horizons came out and we went to the river, we looked at the water quality, it was really interesting. We got to see how far fish can see when the river water is dirty.

Science, ANZAC and Art

We have been working on a range of fun learning in our kete recently.

We have learnt all about ANZAC Day and made a wreath which Cooper & Jai laid on behalf of TKM during our school service. As well as this, we have learnt all about our school Pataka, War Memorial and Bell Tower.

 

We also have worked hard on a variety of art projects which you can see in and around our kete.

Math has also been lots of fun this term. Having just completed investigating measurement, we made & measured: jelly, popcorn & lemonade. Lucky us, we got to eat the evidence too!

Weight!

Today we used the scales to weigh everyday items in the classroom using 20,10,5 and 1 gram weights.
Pencils were light and some only weighed 2grams but scissors weighed 27grams.
We can help you at the supermarket now if you need to buy amounts of food!
