HELPING HANDS!

Thanks to Eli, Casey, Teigan, Jasmine, Ashlee and Jordan for helping looking after the classrooms during the wet lunch time today :) I am never short of volunteers from Ruma Wha! Thank you!

kī-o-rahi

We've been playing a really neat game lately called kī-o-rahi. Complicated at first but we're really getting into it now...even I had a go! Kalel taught the class how to play this game, and turns out Alex used to play this on the beach in Gisborne! Great game :)

NEW STOOLS!

Big ups to Mrs Mudgway for sourcing us these amazing stools that we can use in our independent room! Yay we can now sit safely on poofs, instead of stools that had legs that would bend! THAAAAANK YOU :)

Just a little amazing collaborative art!

In Room 4 we have been learning that art and work in general can be collaborative, and that while the work of one person can be amazing, the work of many can be spectacular!

THE GREAT DEBATE!

FUN! We held a debate in class on Tuesday about changing the flag, as we were holding a student referendum as part of a nation-wide schools initiative. We split into groups based on our personal choice, then thought of as many reasons as we could for our side and thought up some counter arguments we thought the opposition might raise. Then we held the debate!
Overall the kiddos really enjoyed the debate and asked if we could hold another one (whether or not Donald Trump should be President or not was one of the many suggested topics!) We then filled in a P.M.I to evaluate our learning...great job Room 4!

Seesaw and PEDMAS by Jordan, Mabel and their assistant Sophie

Just had to share this voluntary Seesaw entry during 10mins free time :) Made my whole weekend when I got to the dedication/"shout out" at the end :)

Hockey Week 10!

 This week we have been lucky enough to have been given some top tips during Hockey lessons. Here are some pictures of the lessons.
