Waka waka e! e!

Room 16 has been problem solving together to create waka. We first had a discussion around what would help our waka to float and then talked about what resources could be effective. Whaea Narelle then gave us some resources and we had to plan how we could use them. We then had a trip into history and looked at past waka and from there were able to create our own! We found out that some of our flags made our waka tip over and started to wonder how we could add an awesome, big flag to our waka.

Let's make a river!

Room 16 has been looking at how rivers are made so we decided to make our own. We had to work as a team to think of how we could make a river that would have a flow of water. Some of us were successful and the water held!

The history of Kawakawa

Room 16 has been learning about Kawakawa and important facts about our home town. Please watch and see what we have learned so far:

Student led conferences

Room 16 has been preparing for our student led conferences. We have been looking at what we are good at (our stars) and what we are working on (our stairs). We have talked about this with our buddies to practice and have chosen what we thought in reading, writing and maths. We also discussed how our whanau could help and why learning is important to us.
These are some precious pictures of when our whanau came into listen to our awesome learning journey so far.
