Social Dancing

This week Year 5 and 6 students started social dancing. Mr and Mrs Stewart are teaching us lots of different dances. The Year 5's are picking up the dance moves quickly and the Year 6's are remembering the steps from last year. We are looking forward to our social dance in a few weeks.

Swimming

We are all loving being back in our pool. We swim twice a week and been having lots of on the inflatable toys, diving for sinking quoits and getting Mrs Palmer wet!

Constructing A Whare

We have been learning about the different parts of a whare.  We have learnt that they can represent parts of the body and have been learning what they are called.  As a class we constructed a small wooden whare.

Te Rangimaire Kawakawa Balm

As part or our 'So What, Now What?' part of our inquiry from last term we decided to form a business and produce kawakawa balm.  We got into small groups eg labeling, mangers, production team, brand name, logo, website, posters etc.  Over three weeks we all work really hard to do our jobs.  We came up with the brand name Te Rangimarie which means peace in Te Reo Māori. Our product is called Kawakawa Healing Balm.  We were all so proud of our efforts and especially selling our product at our Carlton Carnival.
