Our syndicate went to Adventure Forest and Sandy Bay for our EOTC experiences. We were divided into two groups. The first group went to Adventure Forest and learnt how to use a karabiner and harness to scale along a variety of challenging circuits. Some of the children were scared of heights, but they over-came their fears. The other group travelled to Sandy Bay where they learnt how to surf. They learnt the importance of balance, technique and water safety. Both groups then swapped activities on the alternative day. A special thanks to those parents/caregivers who assisted with transport and supervision.
Tena koutou. Nau mai, Haere mai, Welcome to Room 23 Scholar's blog. Our learning coach's name is Mr Werder. He is an avid Taranaki and Hurricanes rugby supporter, and a passionate supporter of the Warriors and Queensland State of Origin rugby league teams. We have 24 amazing scholars in our Year 3/4 classroom.
The concepts we will be studying this year will include: ‘Turangawaewae' (Term 1, Health - Relationships with others; Social Sciences - Place & Environment); Term 2, ''Taonga’ (Visual Arts; Social Sciences). Term 3, 'Heroes and Heroines' (Social Sciences); and ''Celebration'' (Term 4, Social Sciences). The school wide focus for 2016 is Religious Education. This will be in conjunction with building on our current knowledge and learning from last year in the curriculum areas of Mathematics and Te Reo Maori. The writing focus in 2017 will be 'narrative' where we will examine its structure and language features in-detail.
We look forward to showing you our blog page, as well as 'seesaw' some of the wonderful work we are doing. God bless, and please write positive comments about our work. Kia ora tatou!
