• We are learning how to mix primary colours to make secondary colours

My Living Thing

• We are learning to understand that all living things need different things to survive

During term 2, C6 have been learning about living things; we learnt about honey bees, oak trees, and kiwis. For our assessment, they had to create their own creature/living thing, and label how it breathes and how it moves. They then wrote a report that explained what their creature was, what it looked like, where it lived, and what it needed to survive. Next they put it all together into a poster.

MATARIKI LEARNING & CELEBRATIONS

• We are learning to understand and describe the cultural importance of Matariki

On Monday 3rd July, the Pukeroa & Pukehangi teams held a Matariki rotations day. The students got to rotate around the 7 classes and complete a different activity in each class. Here are a few pictures and videos from our day:

Celebrating success!

Writing group sessions

• We are learning how to write an explanation
• We are learning how to participate & contribute in a group

Today we started to learn how to write an explanation. We looked at 2 different examples, and then wrote one together as a class. The students were then put into mixed ability groups and had to write an explanation on "how to have a fun birthday party". 

Living things and measurement:

How many C6 students are the same height as an oak tree? We measured ourselves and added together, all together including Miss Bridgeman we were 2,888cm. 20 C6 students together = 2,453cm which is the closest to the average height of an oak tree 2,400cm.
This was a great learning activity to introduce measurement and continue our learning of oak trees.
