Week 7 - Hockey

Hockey is gearing up at the moment. We have our mixed team competing at the zone competition next week and the girls the following week.

Today we were learning how to do a sweep pass. A sweep pass is a powerful pass where you sweep your stick along the ground before it connects with the ball. Check us out in action.

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!
