Yera 7&8 camp 2017

Week 5 is just around the corner and Room 7 are excited to be going on camp next week. We will leave on Monday at 9 am and return on Friday around 4 pm. 

We will be learning about the history of New Zealand, Maori culture and taking part in physical activities such as kayaking, sailing and much more.

We will be staying at a camping ground in Russell and we are excited to bond and share this wonderful experience with our peers and teachers. 

So many people put in their help either financially and through volunteering their time to help us with this camp. Our special thanks goes out to the St Ignatius church who donated so much money for us to go on camp.

Here is my activity from our PD today about Learn, Create, Share.

Grease lightning at Auckland Girls Grammar School

We were very fortunate today to travel to Auckland city to watch a production of Grease by the students of Auckland Girls Grammar School. 

We had a very enjoyable time watching the performance. The actors were very well prepared knowing their lines and the songs they had to sing. The costumes were amazing. They were very similar to the costumes of the actors in the movie. 

We would like to thank Miss Elia and her niece for giving us the opportunity to watch the production.

Our students have been learning about being safe in the home. Fire safety is the topic which Mr Nath taught during his Science Intensive session. Here is Luisa's drawing reminding us of what to do if we ever (and we hope not) catch on fire.

Our dedicated Manaiakalani ambassador presented today and this is her presentation about Earthquakes. Well done Aaliyahna on the presentation and you are doing a very good job representing our school.

Our wonderings. Room 7 have started what we have called 'Our wonderings'. It is an opportunity for students to inquire into any topic of their choice. It is a time for independent learning exploring. There are so many topics being covered during our wonderings from actors, sports players, dinosaurs, sports, motor vehicles and much more. Here is Luisa's first presentation about one of her favourite actors.
