Making Parachutes

As part of our maths and technology learning the class has been learning to design, make and modify parachutes. The next step will be to record the descent times on a table and compare these with other groups. Students need to think about how they will take accurate measurements and ensure that 'flights' are conducted in a fair manner. The photos show the creating stage. The designs were drawn using the Google drawing tool. 

Good use of recycled materials.

Some serious concentration at the create stage!

KiwiSport

7 March 2016 PE

A wet Monday morning saw us move desks in the class to carry on with our Kiwisport lessons.
The focus this term is striking and fielding games. Throwing and catching are the important skills the students have been focusing on. Today we used tennis balls.

5+ a Day

3 March 2016

Fresh fruit and vegetables were the name of the game at Kaniere on Monday morning as we celebrated healthy eating and 5+ a day. After getting together in house groups for some fun games everyone loaded up their kebab sticks with their own personal selection of goodies.

Tom gave his selection the thumbs up!

Georgia's already got her eye on those yummy strawberries.

 Krista's having fun . . . but as for Mikayla?

Lots of healthy eating in Ruma Tāhi.

Jimmy is keen for a few more bits.

Cameron doesn't look quite so sure about his choice!

Great photographing Charlotte! 

It would be great to have a pool in all the hot weather!

Tom - you've dug deep to find all this information out about Riley.

Over the last week the class have been finding out a bit about each by conducting interviews. It is amazing the different skills and unique talents that each student has. Happy reading! 

Great interviewing Riley. A good idea to include an action shot!

Nice smile Charlotte!

Chromebook Day!

Was certainly mass excitement in Rūma Tahi last Friday when it came to the students unwrapping their very own chromebook!
