Interior Design

TERM 3, WEEK 1
Welcome back to the new term everyone! It was a great to see some new carpet waiting for us in our rooms when we got back after the holidays. They look so much better!!
The students had a great time on the first day helping to decide on the layout of the furniture in the classes, and setting up some of the learning spaces and wall displays.


Show Time!

TERM 2, WEEK 10
After all that preparation, the time had finally come for our proper performance in front of an audience. Some kids were nervous but everyone gave it their best, and the show and the singing were fantastic! Well done Team Miro for all your hard work!!







Practice, Practice, Practice

TERM 2, WEEK 9
It has been a busy few weeks preparing for our performance next week, but things are starting to come together. The groups have been working hard out on their acts, getting their costumes and props sorted, and practicing the songs.


Can We Build It?

TERM 2, WEEK 7This term the kids have been able to explore their own interests and learn some new skills during PBL time (Passion Based Learning). Building and making things was a popular choice, and one group showed great team work to build a Go-Kart - just waiting for wheels now!


HEART Reward

TERM 2, WEEK 6
After a full on week of working together to prepare for our upcoming performance, Team Roto earned their mid-term HEART movie reward on Friday. Everyone's eyes are glued to the screen here!


I Wish I Was...

TERM 2, WEEK 3
The kids had a blast dressing up for the "I Wish I Was" mufti day on Friday. So much effort went into the costumes, and lots of money was raised for the Make a Wish Foundation, so well done everyone!! And was that a real All Black spotted teaching in Room 24??


Teeing Off

TERM 2, WEEK 3
Phew! Week 3 has been a very busy week in Team Roto - but managed to squeeze in a spot of golf!! We had our second golf lesson on Wednesday, and were working on our chip shots. Lots of fun.


Heavy Learning!

TERM 2, WEEK 2
For Maths this week we were learning about weight. We got to do some fun, hands-on activities to learn how to estimate, compare, and read the weight of a variety of different objects.



Construction Time

TERM 2, WEEK 1
Today we learnt some techniques for constructing/joining materials in preparation for building props for our end of term production. The kids created some amazing structures and had a lot of fun!
