Haere rā!

Farewell, Paulo!  Room 10 wishes you the best of luck as you embark on your journey to a new school in Wellington.  Keep working hard.  We will miss you in Room 10.  Ka kite anō!

Mates Way!

Thank you, Mr Calver, for spending time talking with some Room 10 students about friendship and role models.  They really enjoyed their sessions with you and are proud of their certificates. 

A picture paints a thousand words

This is how we used the writing and note-taking strategy of picture dictation.

How many players on a netball court?

While the rest of the world is glued to the soccer world cup, we are learning to glue our feet to the ground ... while we pass the netball without stepping.  Chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass, shoot!  There are 14 players on a netball court all together as there are two teams with seven players each!

Singing along

Everyone tuned in and sang along in tip-top voices at midday on Friday 30th May.  Along with the rest of Ruapotaka and other schools around New Zealand, we brought music into our classroom as part of MENZA's Hook, Line and Sing-A-Long.  Amazing job, Room 10!

Reading in Room 5

After listening to our buddy reading, it was our turn

to read a story to our Room 5 buddy this afternoon.

It's the Final Countdown ... Touchdown!

Today we hosted our syndicate assembly, performing a play which took us on an intergalactic journey to Planet Glix.  5, 4, 3, 2, 1, touchdown!  The aliens, Blurf and Flurb, outwitted the adventurous astronauts who soon wanted to return to Planet Earth.
