This term Room 25 has been focused on technology. We began by looking at famous inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell. We then learnt that technology is about identifying a need, and creating ways to fulfill that need.
As a class we looked at our school and decided on our focus. We wanted to create a play pit for the older students.
We did lots of researching, planning and communicating throughout the process. Our last step this term was to make a model play pit with our learning buddy.
These photos show our amazing models! Please come in to Room 25 to have a closer look - the photos do not show all of the careful details and exciting creativity!
Stay tuned for Term 4 - Our mission is to make a REAL play pit at our school.
Puriri Team is lucky enough to have a series of Hockey lessons run by Auckland Hockey. So far we have learnt how to pass and trap the ball, dodge other players and score goals. Our skills have improved so much already!
We have loved our swimming sessions at Mt Albert Pool. We had a lesson with instructors and free time on each visit. All of us improved our swimming skills and water confidence. See if you can head down to the pool with your family to keep up what you have learnt!
Hi Room 25 families
We have a very fun term ahead of us!
Please see our swimming timetable below. Our first lesson is on Tuesday 1st August. Children will need to:
- Bring a towel and underwear in a plastic bag or swimming bag

We will be leaving school at 9am. Please make sure your child is here on time.
Room 25 starts Garden to Table this term. Please talk to Miss O'Shea if you would like to join us for this.
Please encourage your child to complete their home learning. It is given out every Monday, and will be checked on Friday (along with the spelling test).
It's going to a great action packed term full of learning and fun! Thank you in advance for your support.

Have a very happy holiday.
See you in TERM 3 - School starts on Monday 24th July - 8.55am!
First we learnt about how parachutes work.
Then we drew a diagram that included labels such as air resistance, gravity and weight.
We made our parachutes using plastic bags, string and a peg as the weight.
We had to made lots of changes along the way to get our parachutes to fall slowly.
The next photos will show you TESTING DAY!
On the morning of 30.6.17 we walked up Owairaka Mountain to see the Matariki stars. It was a beautiful clear morning and we saw the constellation! Happy Matariki from Room 25!
Jared (R25) and Tana (R22) came back to school looking extra awesome in their blues sunnies and wrist bands! Along with other kids from Owairaka they attended the blues rugby training today - What a fantastic opportunity! Two future rugby stars in the photo above perhaps?!
