Kiwiana was a focus once again for week two. We found out all about kiwi icons and followed Wiki around on his holiday adventures learning more about NZ history and places in NZ.
In Maths we finished off our measurement units all ready for testing in Week 3.
We learnt all about pourquois which are tales about how and why. Students wrote about different topics ranging from how the jellyfish lost its bones to why kiwis can't fly. They showed great creativity and imagination in these stories.
Amongst all our hard work we were busy stripping walls, packing boxes and moving furniture. Our big move was on Friday and it went very smoothly. Room 5 and 7 are now sharing the PAC for 4 weeks and Room 6 is in M2 whilst Room 8 is in M1.
As they say, change is as good as a holiday!
A view into our world
Take a look at our Prize Winners!
Our focus for Term 2 was the Science Fair. Projects were judged according to scientific thinking and application of Scientific Habits of Mind in the way we planned and carried out an investigation. Overall, we chose thirteen prizewinners. Two highly commendeds were chosen from each class, one medal winner from each class and one outstanding Science Fair was chosen for the highly honoured Team Nobel Prize Cup. A special congratulations to Courtney Sloane on receiving this award.
