Cross Country 2017

Another exciting cross country and we were very lucky with the weather. Well done to all those students who qualified for the Eastern Zone Cross Country.

Planet Earth and Beyond!

This term we are exploring Planet Earth and Beyond! 

Matairangi are investigating distance, size, components, travel, survival and everything space. 

It is an exciting topic and we are looking forward to learning more. 

We have an upcoming trip the Carter Observatory, which will further spark our imagination. 

Room 9 - Paper Mache Planets 

This term on Friday we have been running a rotation.  We have mixed up the classes and Katrina is running an art session, Margaret runs a music session and Sam has been running some Science classes.

Over the term so far we have learnt about a number of artists including Leonardo Da Vinci, Edvard Munch and Andy Warhol.

In Science we learnt about the life cycle of a cicada and we are doing some work on fair testing at the moment.

In music we have looked at the difference between a rhythm and a beat and created some music.

Welcome

Welcome to the Matairangi Blog for 2017.

We have been developing this over the last few weeks and have some initial posts for you to check out.

At the end of February we headed off to camp.  We were very lucky with the weather and we managed to do all our activities.

Below are a few photos from camp.
