Kia ora all

We are sure that your child has come home excited about the school wide challenge around Te Reo Māori, for next week. Yes, you are going to be the learner! Be prepared to learn some Māori and let your child share the evidence of this with their teacher, to gain them points.
Here are some websites below to help your learning:

Year 4 AsTTLe Information Evening

Attention all Year 4 parents: Next Wednesday 22 June there will be an information session to unpack AsTTLe testing. AsTTLe (Assessment Tools for Teaching and Learning) provides a "snapshot" - one test on one day of a child's learning in literacy and maths.
This session will be an opportunity for you to look at these tests and how to interpret the results. It will be held in Discover between 5.00 and 6.00pm.

Easter Break

How fantastic to have 5 whole days away. Ms B made the most of it and went tramping at Aoraki Mt Cook. She also acquired a new family member!!!

Great ChILL Work Happening!!

Normal School hours tomorrow

Kia ora everyone, just letting you know that school will be operating as normal tomorrow. Please pack a water bottle, as we have not yet had the water tested following today's quake.
See you all in the morning
Lynley, Paula, Mura and Hayley

Make sure you get your tickets!!

Holidays

Try and get into Hagley Park to see the beautiful blossom trees. Plus a new exhibition at the Museum all about mirrors. Lots of fun.

Holidays - what are you doing?

Ms B is planning to eat her way around Auckland in the holidays. What will you be doing?

Welcome Back to Term 3 - What did you do in your holidays?

A view of Melbourne from the 41st floor.

The queue was horrendous so I still haven't seen this exhibition.

Chill time in discover

In Team Discover we use devices for learning things like mathletics, spelling and finding out information for our inquiry. 

  

We can watch things to help our learning, or show others in our team what we have made through our team TV.

People do their 100s sheet. 

We practise our spelling.

We try to show our learning in lots of different ways.

   People do their hand writing.

Jamie Oliver Food Revolution

Team Tuhura have had a great day making squashed vegetable sandwiches with the help of Ms. B and Jamie Oliver.

First we watched and learnt from Jamie how to chop up all the vegetables.

Once we cut everything up we mixed all the vegetables together with herbs and sauces.

Then we got to make our own sandwiches. To help them stay together we used hummus, cream cheese and cottage cheese.

Our sandwiches tasted AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
