Coding using Google Sheets

This morning Patrick, Jahnei, Levy and Kaelyn had a go at squeezing pictures into codes (in this case their name). Once they had finished writing their names they swapped devices and wrote the codes down for their names.We're looking forward to trialling doing actual pictures.

STEM showcase

 What a busy week we've had! This term as you may know, we've been learning about the body systems in particular the Circulatory System. Yesterday we had the opportunity to share our learning with our friends, family and our community. We think it was a huge success!!!!!

We shared information about our Heart, we shared our pamphlets that we had worked on earlier in the term and we also shared a coding/maths activity ("Have you got the brains" and "Makeymakey"). 

We are so proud of the work we produced and shared, and we hope that everyone learnt lots from it. 

Here are some photos of us preparing for STEM along with the final products...

Human Body- Rotations

 Over the last couple of weeks, Room 11 and the rest of Aronui (Senior Syndicate) have enjoyed learning about the body systems. Today was the last rotation where Room 11 went to Miss Savila's class to learn about the Digestive System. Check out some of the photos from their lesson.

Zumba Fundraiser

Last night we had our very first Zumba Fundraiser at our school. I was feeling nervous about it because we had not sold many tickets prior to the event and I wasn't sure if our whanau would do door sales nor come because we have not had the best weather recently. 

It ended up turning out so well. We had so many students and parents support us. The dancing was awesome, the routines were crazy (because I couldn't keep up) and everyone looked like they were having fun!

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us! All of the money will be going towards lowering the cost for our Year 5&6 camp.

Lastly, we would like to say a very big thank you to Vanila and her amazing team of Zumba instructors who came out to support our whanau. We are very appreciative of your time and generosity and it would have not been a success without you! ❤️

 

Tapa Art

 Our tapa making is starting to come together quite nicely. These patterns look great Evyhn!

Geometry-Reflection & Rotation

For Maths today we are learning to reflect a Samoan tapa pattern. Can't wait to see the final results!

Levy is drawing a reflection of the pattern.

Patrick is carefully measuring for accuracy.

Khori-Lee and Ofa are on to the colouring stage.

 

Welcome to Samoan Language Week!

This week there will be challenges for us to take part in. Today's challenge is a clap challenge. Check it out.
