Stoke School came to visit today!

Leadership wall

Our leadership wall is up and we have weekly leaders designated for the next two weeks.

Class leaders and sports leaders will be elected next week after students have had time to think about their role in the classroom.

X-Country Fitness

We used the Map My Run app this morning during our fitness walk/run to find the distance of the x-country for this Thursday.

My Life Rulz

"It isn't what happens to me that matters but how I choose to think about it."

The role plays for rule 7 this week were FANTASTIC.

Buddy Reading

Reading with Room 2 is always fun!

William has a brand new brother!

Reading contracts: "Oh, can we please have 5 more minutes?!"

Students asking for more time when I reminded them it was time to stop for morning tea.

Inquiry unit

The inquiry teams have jumped into the first supplementary question. Check out Nations findings (with help from Glacier).

Buddy reading kicks off for Room2 and Room5

It's great to have Miss Taylor's class visit for buddy reading. Room 2 students bring two books: one book to read to their Room 5 buddy and one for the Room 5 buddy to read :)

Kapahaka

We are learning our first Haka for a special powhiri in 3 weeks :)

Marking homework

We are marking homework. Spelling and multiplication for the first week of term.

Not phased.

Our netball/fitness court is being used by the council while they put in a new sewer pipe. Not to be phased and no excuses for fitness, it's ultimate tag in the front carpark :)

What does the water cycle have to do with God?

We are exploring that question and brainstorming ideas about how to solve this mystery.

Multiplication certificate

Israel is first on the board with 2x, 5x and 10x tables recited. Each set must be recited in under 30 secs to earn your timestables certificate. Way to go Israel!

Inquiry unit: What does the Water Cycle have to do with God?

These words are linked. How?

That is the beginning of our inquiry unit this term :)
