Strumming away

Term 2 Week 6 Home Learning

Homework this week is as per usual...however there is a compulsory task to be worked on at school and at home. It is due Friday Week 8.

Your child will bring home a planning sheet and a draft scaffold sheet, to organise their information.

The students are familiar with the process, as we have been using these steps at school.

Please support them by following these steps;

• RESEARCH: Any of these- books, websites, tv documentaries, youtube videos, Puke Ariki displays
• Bubble brainstorm sheet
• Report scaffold draft (A3)
• Editing

Publishing: Any of these- Poster, Slideshow presentation, Model, Booklet

Students will need to access their resources at home and at school.

When these reports are completed to a high standard, we will be able to share them on our blog!

Reminder:  'Descent From Disaster'  is a documentary on TVOne on Wednesday night at 8.30pm.
It is all about Mt Taranaki- Toni Street tells viewers of an historical event that occurred on 'Our Mountain'.  Parental permission and guidance will be necessary to watch this.  It is also quite late, so you may have to record it.

Room 9 Road Cyclists!

Concentration was the key to today's bike training session on the road.  

We put into practice many of the skills learnt at school, such as pedal power position, life-saver looks, signalling, positioning on the road and crossing safely.

Above: Chloe shows complete focus and concentration before a stopping manoeuvre.

Right: Performing a right-hand turn into Kowhai Street, followed by stop signalling along Ngaio St.

Cycle Safety

Road cycle safety has been a focus for the seniors this week. 

 Students have been learning to signal, perform safety checks and make safe manouvres on the road. This has been quite a challenge, but an incredibly valuable experience.  Unfortunately the weather challenged us too much today, and our last session was cancelled. 

 Thank you to our wonderful instructors. 

Surfing To Success

We're now surfing our basic fact waves in numeracy!
Students know which wave or next learning goal they need to master before surfing the next one.

BOYS ONLY!
