Term 4- Week 4

Hey Whanau,

This week we had an awesome experience at our local Marae.

The children learnt about the history of Manurewa.  What to expect in a powiri! Small and long Rakau sticks, Haka, getting their tamokos, and ki orhi.


Term 4- week 3

Hey whanau,

This week was the start of the summer swim. 

Please remember that we swim on Tuesday and Fridays.  It would be nice to see all the children learning and being comfortable in the water.  As it is a nice summer activity on the beach.










Also this week the participated in their maths inquiry lesson

Question:
During Qaids STEAM project he gathered 489 pieces of small wood. He didnt realise that he need more than this. He actually needed 1,324 pieces of small wood. This way he can build his windmill with strong support beans. So how many more small wood does Qaid need to make his windmill nice and strong

CAN YOU ANSWER IT :)
