Search 4 Hurt

Each afternoon from 2:30-3pm Room 18 & 19 have been completing Search 4 Hurt activities (inspired by Search 4 Hurt on ESPN).  Last week, students were challenged to work in groups to complete an obstacle course, all while carrying buckets of water, heavy mats, a large roll of carpet and/or roadwork cones.  What will week 4 have in store for us?  Bring it on!

World Famous in New Zealand

WOW... what a brilliant first week back! 

Mr P and I are so incredibly proud of how all of the students adapted to the new programme.  We are now joining our two classes for reading and Mathematics each day.  Grouping is flexible which allows us to cater for individual and group needs. 

Mathematics

For the first 5 weeks of term, we are focusing on numeracy.  The new timetable is below.  Students did a great job working out where they needed to be and what they needed for each session.  Well done! 

Mathletics

Our combined efforts on Mathletics means that we are 'World Famous in NZ' after just one week.

8th in New Zealand
