Week 3 - Swingball

We have recently got some new balls for our swing ball sets. As the sports monitors and peer mediators we went outside to learn how to play, so we can help teach the other students.

We are loving having swing ball up and going again. It's such a great game!

Jayzel & Ayush have a go, while others wait in line.

Week 2 - Word Wheel

In Scott Class we are working hard to expand our vocabulary. Today we talked about some of the new words we have been finding in books we are reading. Then we chose 3 words to go on our word wheel (eerie, gulped and mutate) and worked either by ourselves or in pairs to come up with a sentence (or paragraph) using those words. Here are a couple that we came up with.

I gulped down the special serum in the eerie room called
"The room of darkness". It will give me a mutation that will give me the ability to see in the dark to help me finish the puzzle.  - Nikolai

My Group: Hulita, Lorna and Osana
My group writing: I gulped as I walked into the eerie room and just  as I thought nothing could get worse I saw a tiny mouse mutate into a hairy fat ugly beast.

Ako Hiko Evening at Wiakowhai Primary School

On Wednesday and Thursday last week Nikolai, Saunoa, Hulita and Lorna attended and spoke at Ako Hiko parent evenings at Waikowahi Primary School. They spoke about using their Chromebook to help with their learning, how sharing their learning on their blog enables them to have a wide audience for their learning and how we use our class site to make all of our learning visible.

They spoke well in front of large groups of adults. Ka pai team!
