End of Year Celebration

Yesterday the Innovative Aviator Team went to the hot pools and Mountford Park to celebrate the hard work our tamariki have put in towards their learning.  Here are some snaps of our day:

Seeing the world through cardboard goggles

Normally, learning about rock climbing, the equipment needed and the different types of climbs can be quite boring without actually going climbing, but today..  a virtual reality teaching tool built with Google Cardboard gave us the opportunity to  climb 3000 feet up the world's most famous rock wall: Yosemite's El Capitan. Listen to how excited and amazed we were.

Here is a sneak peak of our climb... Can you image what it would it would have looked like to us in 3D?? A M A Z I N G ! ! !

Award winner this week is....

VJ Toutai  for using amazing facial expressions and hand gestures when acting out the story of Iggy Pig. Well done VJ.

Raven's Musical Showcase

On Friday the Ravens performed their sound piece.  We used a repeated pattern and used different sounds such as body percussion and buckets to create a rhythm.  Take a look at our performance.

Award Winners this week....

A huge congratulations goes to.....  Salem and Joseph

Salem shared an amazing poem about his grandpa.  We really liked the way you told us all the things that you loved about your grand pa Salem! 

Joseph has been working hard all term and always completes his work to a high standard. Keep up the great work Joseph. 

Shake out 2015

As part of the New Zealand shakeout drill we have been practising how to protect ourselves in the event of an earthquake.

Welcome Back to Term 4!

Welcome back to Term 4!

It is so good to see so many eager faces back and ready to learn.

This term for topic we are learning about sound.  We are very lucky to have a representative from Jelly Bean come in to teach us about rhythm and sound using our body and a range of different instruments.

Kites and Flight

This term we have been learning all about flight. We have used this knowledge to help us create and make a kite that will fly high in the sky ... ( hopefully ). Here are some pics of us making our kites and some of our research projects.

Park and Walk day

Agins and Manaia braved the rain and walked to school to receive their hot chocolate and marshmallow.
