Talking about our learning.

Today we started looking at a new way to solve addition problems. We are learning to count on from the biggest number. Check out our video, we were able to talk about the way we solved the problem.

Ted and Olive

Meet Ted and Olive. They spend their days looking through our learning space, looking for children that are showing their People Powers and Learning Powers. Ted and Olive choose a child each day that they would like to go home with. We love hearing about the adventures of Ted and Olive at your house. 

Self Portraits

This term in Te Ope Ruaraki we are learning all about ourselves and what makes us special. We have been exploring with different materials while creating our self portraits. We've experimented with pencil, pastel and natural materials. Here's a sneak peek of our work, hopefully they will all be finished soon so there will be a lot more to show off!

Te Ope Ruaraki Authors.

Check out Brooklyn and Kataraina's weekend recounts. An amazing effort recording the sounds they could hear. Well done, keep up the great work!

Learning Through Play

In Te Ope Ruaraki we are loving being back at school.  We are enjoying getting to know one another.  We are learning how to work together and play together nicely.

Zones Athletics

Today we were super proud of Tyler, Caleb and Kahu as they went to represent South Hornby in the Zones Athletics.  They were the only Year 3's in the school team with the Seniors.
Well done on winning the 8 year old's relay (with Noah from the Seniors)!
