The children who go to Ukulele Club on Wednesday performed for Paiaka at our Hui on Friday. They sound great! Miss Lover and Mr Clark are enjoying themselves too. Well done to Mrs Roach for the time she puts into Ukulele Club.
Paiaka students have been working hard on their learning.
Below are some photos of the children learning new skills ICT skills, and with a focus on being Cybersmart.
For Poetry, we have been learning different language features to make our writing sparkle. Below Paiaka 1 are describing a marshmallow using our senses.
The children involved in problem-solving this week are learning about the Area and Perimeter. We went outside and measured different objects in our school. We had to measure the Basketball Court!
Wow what a great week of learning we have had in the Paiaka hub. Tuesday started off with some lunchtime Wheel fun, run by the Year 7's. The kids who participated had a great time.
One of our goals for reading is to participate in 20 minutes of silent reading. We tested this out on Wednesday. Look at the level of focus on their faces, go team!
In PBL we have been looking at how we can ensure electricity is part of our future? For the first three weeks children have been around 4 rotations focusing on solar, hydro, electric currents and wind. Check out some of the kids learning below. They have designed solar powered cars, made wind turbines, operated electric circuits and looked closely at a hydro dam.
As part of our learning program on Friday, the children take part in a Friday rotation. The Year 3's take part in ICT with Miss Smith-Palmer and art with Mrs Roach. The Year 4's complete Cyber Smart with Miss Lover and Mark and art with Miss Gill. Check out their awesome work below.
