Plant Heads

Last week we planted our bottles with seed raising mix and parsley, cress or wheat. The parsley heads will be the slowest of all to germinate and grow. Look at them now! They look so funny with their spiky hair. They are keeping us very entertained as the hair grows so fast and they change so quickly.

Stitching Tukutuku Panels

We have loved stitching our tukutuku panels in red,  white and black wool. They look fantastic! Some students have finished 2 and then started designing and stitching their own.

Calculator Maths

The Room 8 maths class used calculators to estimate and continue a pattern. They shared this task with a buddy. The patterns included numbers with decimals or adding a decimal number to another number .

Andy Griffiths came to speak at the NZ Literacy Conference - Words on Wellington. He gave all the teachers attending lots of ideas to motivate students to write.

He also went to several bookshops to meet people and sign their books. James was lucky enough to meet Andy at Queensgate and he signed his book.

Football in Schools

We had our last 2 sessions of football in the last week of term. It was very wet getting there but it was worth it. Everyone thinks their skills have improved over the weeks and it was fun with everyone giving it a real go.
