Mathletics is a school wide maths activity that all the children are expected to do for maths homework.
Mathletics is a fun and interactive way for your child to keep up with there Maths skills at home.
In Room 11 it is expected that every child to at least achieves 500 points a week. This will give them 10 points for their house. It is great to see all those children putting their results on the class chart.
Come in and have a look!
The Children of Room 11 have worked very hard on their self portraits this term.
They have been very lucky to have the help of local artist Mandy Williams to share her knowledge and skills.
They children showed great skill in planning and the painting of their pictures.
Room 11 is a class of fantastic artists.
Waihi Camp
We all had a wonderful time on our Waihi Beach Camp.
It was a busy three days full with fun, learning and plenty of exercise. We were certainly lucky with the weather.
Thank you to all the camp parents who helped make it a success. Thank you to all the parents for having your child so well equipped and for the generous donations of home baking and fruit. The children can be thanked for their awesome behaviour. It was a real pleasure to take such a well behaved class of children away on camp.
The highlights for the children were ….
>walking through the dark tunnel at Karangahake Gorge
(lucky we had torches)
>the train trip at Waikino
>the Museum in Waihi (especially the miners’ thumbs and the jail house)
>the bus trip (driven by the principal!) around the huge gold and silver
mine pit
>the activities at the Education Centre
>the surf swim
>the visit to the Information Centre and the Old pump House
Room 11 went to the Mount beach with Room 9 and 10.
We went to learn about being safe in the sea. We all love going to the beach and had a great day in the sun and surf. We learnt what the Surf Life Savers do for us on the beach and how to keep ourselves safe. We know to always swim between the flags and to wear flippers with our boggie boards.
Here are some photos of our fun day.
We had local artist Mandy Williams share her art and ideas.
The children were inspired and have started on their own self portraits.
