All about Kaniere School!

Renee worked hard to gather lots of information to inform you all about life at Kaniere School. Enjoy reading it!

St Johns Comes to Kaniere

We were really lucky to have the opportunity to have St Johns spend two days in our school earlier this week. Everyone had plenty of time to learn the new skills. An extra bonus was the presentation of a handy sized first aid kit to each student.

Clued Up Kids at Cass Square

A fun and learning day in the sun at Cass Square. The aim being to give kids all the 'clues' they need to keep themselves safe. Thanks to our parent helpers - we couldn't have done it without you!

Art - Term 1

Poetry by Renee

Renee has used excellent language and descriptive language in her three poems. She has shown she understands just how to use similes to create good effect. Well done!

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!

Rippa Rugby

29 February 2016

Ruma Tahi, along with all the other classes have been really lucky to have Nobby come in to build on our rippa rugby skills over the last two weeks. We've learnt how to pass the ball while moving, move into spaces and how to work as a team. Ka pai Nobby. We hope you can come back again soon!

 . . . and this is how it's done . . .

A chance to use those new skills and tips.

Our buddy wall in class is steadily filling up. When you read through these interviews you will realise just how many unique talents the kids in room 1 have. Here are the latest interviews hot off the press . . .

Nice smile Renee!

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.

16 February 

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!

Swimming

February 10 2016

It was great to head off to the pool last Friday to begin our swimming lessons for the term. Everyone appreciated the chance to cool off. We were lucky to have so many parents offer to help run the groups. Thank you! The class will back at the pool at 1.30 again this Friday (12th). 

Maths in Flight!

As part of our maths the class started designing catapults. It was exciting measuring the flight paths today! Tomorrow they will begin to organise their data into a graph.
