Spaghetti Challenge

Mondayitis struck a few students today. Some found it difficult to remain positive when the Spaghetti challenge took place. While others loved the challenge and being able to work together in a team. Fantastic effort, honesty and team work everyone. 

Remember that we learn by our FAILURES!

WEEK 2 and 3

Thank you to all of the parents who were able to come in During the last week for a conference with me. It was fantastic to meet all of the new parents and also to catch up with parents from last year. We have such an awesome bunch of students. They are real Super Stars. 

Once again our weeks are flying by. During week 2 we were lucky enough to have Paula from St John come into Room 19 and provide us with her expertise in First Aid. 

What can you remember about the lesson?

Great Flash Mobbing by Room 19: 

CAINES ARCADE: We watched an awesome movie and it inspired us to complete a similar activity in Room 19. It relates to our BIG IDEA for the Senior Team this term: 

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi engari he toa takitini.

It is not my strength alone, but the strength of many that contributes to my success.

Below are photos of us working with new class members.

MATHS: We are learning about Statistics: We have been graphing information from Census New Zealand.

What an awesome first week especially with the new students in Room 19. Not forgetting the wonderful past students of Room 19 though. All students have settled back in so well.

We have worked on a few things during the week:

Essential Spelling Test: Yahoo: this is now all completed and marked. Spelling will be sent home from next week on for those who require it. 

KETE: Well done to the students who have already presented their kete with 5-6 special things about themselves. It has helped us learn about each other. 

PHOTOS: We have taken individual photos of the students in Room 19, these will be shared with you soon.

SWIMMING: we went for our first swim on Thursday... Brrr it was more cold for those of us not in the pool. Remember that swimming is on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Welcome Gift Pack: 

We have been learning how to work well in a team. Part of the team work was the Marble Challenge. Students were given certain items and then had to make their marble land in a 15cm square. Check out the photos and video clips below.

FIRST DAY 2017
