Room 6's special visitor!

We were lucky to be part of a television filming opportunity during week 2. Nigel Latta and crew are preparing a new show for TVNZ, all about financial literacy. Room 6 tried to understand what a commodity market is all about (how can half a sheep be equal to two chickens?). Don't worry, our job was to look confused!

Keep an eye out for some familiar faces on television in 2017.

Room 6 - a class full of readers!

Room 6 - congratulations again on your reading efforts during the last school holidays - you made sure that your reading skills kept on improving even while you weren't at school. 

Your parents and teacher are very proud of your efforts!

Caught Being Good: Fila and Ebony

Congratulations Fila - you have learnt to use a number line to help with addition and subtraction.

Thank you Ebony - you have been a super role model with your leadership in caring for our school chickens, which can sometimes be a yucky job!

Puriri Outdoor Education 2016

WOW - what an awesome two days had by Puriri team during week 3 of term 4. We made the most of the quiet school grounds, with Kauri team at camp, and we all got to try heaps of different, challenging activities. These included:

 - orienteering
 - tent pitching
 - kite building
 - camping skills (fires, rope tying)
 - pizza cooking
 - confidence course

Thanks to the awesome Puriri teachers and the tireless Ms Whysall for organising such a fun learning experience.

Room 6 Garden to Table

At Garden to Table this week, Ms Best put half the class through their "knife license" paces to see if their knife skills were safe. The rest of Room 6 will get their chance in Week 4.

We didn't let the lack of a school kitchen get in the way of a good meal, so for lunch we had delicious spring rolls from Vietnam.

Thanks Ms Best, see you again soon!

Certificate Winners - Taito and Questyn!

Questyn and Taito were given certificates at school assembly recently. Questyn ate 400 apples over the holidays to earn more sports gear for our school, WOW!!!

Taito has been super thoughtful in writing class, and shared lots of excellent ideas when we were learning to write about "a moment in time".

Great effort in school boys, keep it up!

School Focus: Play Fair
