Our Citizenship Banner

As part of our Citizenship Inquiry Learning we planned 
and created this banner as a team.



Why do you think we chose some of these visual images to represent the Kauri Team?
Do some of these images represent you too?

Room 3 presents 'Room on our Rock'

Room 3 worked with Mrs G to presentation a retell of this book, and shared key messages about Bullying-Free NZ Week 2108 in School Assembly last week.



Unfortunately the video of the retell was too big to post on our blog but here are a few photos taken from the video.

Room 3 were wonderful actors and presented their ideas confidently.


There is also a wonderful interactive story you can click on to further explore the ideas we learned about.

O for Awesome Orienteering



On Friday, 22 Kauri Team members went to the Manawatu Schools Orienteering Champs. It was a great morning and all the competitors worked extremely hard to navigate their way around the Esplanade course. 


A special thanks to Mr Paterson for training the team to achieve such great results. 

Clear and check, ready to race!



Special congratulations to; Sara - 1st, Milan & Elleanor - 3rd and Tom & Jon D - 2nd, James & Aiden - 3rd. They helped us retain the cup for first primary school!

A driver and a navigator

We are using a technique to help us develop our communication and digital skills. 

We are learning to use some new digital tools like EDPuzzle, Scratch and Explain Everything.
When we do this we work in a pair. One person is the Driver (controlling the technology) and the other is the Navigator (sharing knowledge, ideas, problem solving tips, asking questions etc ...)

After a while we change roles. 

After a little more time we swap partners. 

Then the real learning begins!





 We used De Bono's Hat Thinking to evaluate this new technique.




Some of us really enjoyed the opportunity to share and grow our knowledge together.

Others found it frustrating not being able to touch the device, especially when we knew what to do!

We realised that we had a lot to learn about being a good communicator!

Our Ideas Come to Life

Room 3s Learning will now be shared through Seesaw

Thank you for looking at our Blog  but we will no longer be using Blogger. Please log on to Seesaw to see our wonderful work!
