Week 9 - Staff vs. Students!

In the last week of school we held a staff vs students netball game. The competition was fierce, the players were pumped. It was a fantastic game!

There is a bit of a dispute about the final score with the students adamant they won, but the staff are just as sure it was them!

Who will take out the game next year? 

The teachers secret weapon!



The best goal shoot ever!

Week 8 - Farewell

This week we said farewell to our two awesome office ladies Mrs Loader and Mrs Roberts.

In Scott Class we decided to do a skit acting out a day in the office as we see it. Simione and Ayush played Mrs Roberts and Mrs Loader. They were fantastic! Check out the faces of the audience.

Week 8 - Planting

Scott Class and Setoga Class are currently competing to see who can grow the biggest and best plants.

On Thursday we planted our seeds. First we had to put our soil tablets on a saucer and then added 50mls of water. The soil swelled up and provided us with enough to plant the seeds. The seeds are planted in biodegradable pots so we can plant them in the group when the seedlings are big enough!

Make sure you check back for updates!

Week 1 Extreme Makeover - Scott Class Edition

On the first day this term I issued Scott Class with a challenge - design our classroom in the best way for us to learn.

In pairs we created a plan for how we wanted to arrange our class. We then presented our ideas to the class and identified the best parts from each plan. The best parts were then combined to make a plan for our class.

We then rearranged just about all of the furniture in our class! We love our new layout!

"Hmm, what should we put here?"

Te Reo Māori Conversation

WALT have a conversation in te reo Māori.




In Flox Class we have been learning to have a conversation in Maori. We used our conversations to create movies. Our movies are set around Hay Park School. Have a look and see if you can understand Peeana and Manahal's conversation.

We are learning to use te reo Maori. We are still learning to pronounce some of the words in our conversations. Please give us some tips if you have any!


Ka kite ano!
