Mathematicians!

Wow! What an awesome problem solving session today. After we had reflected on everyone's work we realised that there are lots of different ways to solve problems!

1) Drawing pictures

2) Using repeated addition

3) Using our times tables

By the end of our session we all agreed that using times tables was the most efficient way to solve the problem.  We are super clever in Room 25!

Well done Maryam, Jared and Elio!

A huge congratulations to Maryam, Elio and Jared who are our first award receivers for the year. 

These amazing kids from Room 25 have been recognised for their beautiful manners and for being organised (our two big focus points so far this year).

Beach Education Trip

We had an amazing time at Mairangi Bay for our Beach Education Trip. During the day we learnt about the role of a lifeguard, how to be sun smart and how to keep ourselves safe in and around the water. We played beach games and in the afternoon we GOT IN THE WATER!!! It was pretty chilly but that didn't stop us boogie boarding in the waves, duck diving and learning to run through the water. Thank you to the Mairangi Bay Lifeguards for giving us a great experience.
