2020 School Camp

Last week our year 6's and 5's set off on our yearly camp experience at Palm Grove. 

The year 6's stayed for 3 nights and got to try new activities this year including the low ropes, horse riding, the Mangaone Walkway tramp and sleeping in tents!

The year 5's had their first Kilbirnie camp experience and got to try all the much loved activities including the confidence course, night walk, waterslide and Ngā Manu. 

Our students truly had many opportunities to be confident, to achieve and to show respect and empathy. 

Please enjoy the following photos that highlight just how much FUN we had on camp. 

Waste Fashion!

During Term 3, Wellington City Council came to school to run some great activities with the Matairangi Hub as part of our sustainability inquiry.

Room 8 made WASTE FASHION.

Their mission was to make costumes/outfits out of bubblewrap that is used at the Hospital and cannot be recycled. The only other tools they had were scissors, markers and staples.

At the start of this term, we decided to put on a FASHION SHOW for Room 9 and 10 to show off all our great designs.

We learnt lots during this activity about what we can do with old clothes and how to repurpose them or donate them.

 

 

Room 8 ASB

On Thursday morning, Room 8 have been going to ASB to learn and improve our sport skills!

So far, we have played Handball and we are now learning a new sport, called Pickle Ball.

Room 8 have enjoyed learning a new team game during handball practise. The goal is to get your whole team into the semi circle by throwing and catching balls to your teammates. It takes lots of teamwork and good communication.

 

Matariki Day 2019

Below are some images from our Matariki Day celebrated on June 11th.

Throughout the day students chose 3 activities to do, these included weaving Harakeke, koru patterns, making stars, cutting vegetable and making soup, cooking kumera and Poi. 

In the evening we served up the soup and bread to many whanau who attended the evening session. Kapa Haka performed and after the concert we shared kai including a sausage sizzle and homemade soup.
