Term 1, 2025

This term we have been really lucky to be using our beautiful school pool every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
We are learning about how to be safe in the water and working on our foundational skills for swimming. 
Another focus of ours this term is art, we have already created koru art with pastels, a self portrait and even a watercolour painting of our class pet Leo. 

Term 4, 2024

Term 4 started off with our school production of Taniwha, Taniwha.
Room 5 performed to the song Row, Row, Row your Waka, where Kiwi, Pukeko and Hoihoi paddled to Aotearoa and met its occupants. 

We are also busy with our school athletics day and diving into our Topic of 'Keeping Safe in our Community'. 

Term 3, 2024

Room 5 has been exploring the 'Material World' this term. We are looking at the states of matter and how they change. This involved lots of fun experiments! We made crystals and fizzy pink cow drinks, we turned a liquid into a solid when we made jelly lollies, and watched a volcano fizz over.

Term 2, 2024

In Term 2, the focus is on our Inquiry into Lake Rotokare. We have enjoyed learning about native NZ animals and also pests and predators. 

We had fun making rat traps and putting them around our school, especially near the chickens!

Room 5 loved creating art, we drew koru and Māori symbols and even tried weaving.
