Celebration of Learning in the Junior hubs.

 We invited parents to come into the hubs and see what we had been learning for our technology unit -Sustainability and Ecological Awareness. 

Students were eager to show their work to the adults, and talk about new terminology they had acquired on the journey.


There was lots to be shared from windmill design to solar panel fans, bells, and lightbulbs. 
It was lovely to see so many parents enthusiastically involved with their children, so a big thank you for those parents that did attend.

It's Book Week!

 Week Seven is Book Week.


Today we have been lucky enough to have a visiting author, Alyse Boaz, come into our space and talk about her book,  Royal Blue.  This beautiful book is about a little starfish.

It was great to hear about how the pictures are made and then how the books are put together.


We also had 'a reading bug' come into our space this morning - we think it may have been Mrs Huriwai dressed up with antennae and special glasses, but it was great fun.  We had the story of Maisie the Butterfly read to us.

We all love hearing stories and having them read to us!

What an exciting week we are in for!

Poem this week!

 

Here is our poem for the week - and here is the activity that we completed to go with it?


We had a great lesson in learning how to use scissors? Look at the concentration when we cut out the bathtub and frog.


Have a look in the Homework book for the completed activity.

We are so proud of ourselves.

Te Ope Ruaraki Assembly - Week 8

 


Congratulations to the people that received certificates this week.  
It is always hard for the teachers to choose just a couple from their homerooms.
We have so many students worthy of a certificate.  Keep up the fantastic attitudes and the effort towards your learning.

Race Unity Week


Today Te Ope Ruaraki were the lucky recipients of ice blocks from the team at UCSA.  We were very excited to get them and really enjoyed them in the afternoon sun.
