Room 5's Maths Inquiry!

Room 5 had a great time learning about how decimal points work. We measured ourselves and ran over a measured distance. Challenging questions like:
*If you are taller do you run faster?
*Are Year 7's faster then Year 8?
*Are boys faster then girls?
*Does height matter?

Swimming Session - Breaststroke Swimming

Room 5 have been learning how to master the art of breaststroke swimming. Today we looked out how to use the correct leg action and coordinate this with our arm movements in time. The actions were modelled for us, then we tried with a partner to support each other, we revisited it individually and then put what we had learnt into practice. Checkout out our progress!

Class of 2015! February Orchard Photo :) 

Wonderful Week 1 2015

Hi everyone,

Room 5 had a wonderful first four days of school leading up to Waitangi weekend.
We got to know each other and the three new people in our class. One even comes from Texas, America! We are so lucky to have him in Room 5!

We set up our classroom, completed our learning stars and even had a few dips in the school pool.

We are looking forward to getting into our learning groups and are excited about technology starting in Week 3.

Bring on 2015! What a wonderful start!
