Quote of the week!

Every week this Term (and for the rest of the year) I will write a quote on the welcome board that sits outside our classroom. During reading, we discuss what we think this quote means, and discuss an example of where this might apply in life. Interpreting these quotes is great for our reading comprehension and we can use these in our writing too!

Pro8 Challenge

Congratulations to Tyler, Jordan, Alex, Cody, Kalel, Rico, Cam and Josh Louth for completing the Epro8 Challenge at Monrad Intermediate last week! It was a late night (finished at 9pm!) but all teams had fun and I was very proud of how well you worked together as a team :) Next year we will have a better chance now that we know what kind of equipment we get and the types of challenges we will face...look out Palmy North schools! We're coming for you next year!

Team Building

So it has been a fun week! Below are some pics of the fun we had with our team building activities. We have been learning about constructive criticism and the growth mindset. I have to admit, we make a pretty good team!

The first challenge: Form 2 groups and fill a vessel using only 2 soup spoons. First to fill wins! Sorry left group for spilling your container :0

 Second challenge: Using 6 knives and 6 marshmallows, suspend the knives off the surface using the marshmallows. Then I took away 1 marshmallow at a time until they only had 2 left to use! Even then some groups continued trying with ONE marshmallow, great effort Ruma Whā Whanau!
