Mrs Fala's Cafe!

During Term 3, Room 8's math swap class have been learning about time and money with Mrs Fala. 

Mrs Fala opened up her special cafe in room 8 for the students to practise working with money. They were given a $10 allowance and a menu that they were able to purchase from. Each child put together their own plate and worked out how much they'd spent and what their change would be. 

Working together

Team work!

Room 8's engineers spent some time before school last week constructing Mount Everest out of blocks. If you look really closely you'll see Sir Edmund Hillary sitting right on top.

Maori language week!

Maori language week!

As part of our Maori language week celebrations in week 8, the whole school took a trip to the Marae.

At the Marae we:

- Shared our song (Te Aroha)

- Learned the sign language for Te Aroha

- Learned the Hoki Poki dance in Te Reo

- Performed our Haka 

- Learned about the Marae 

It was also very exciting to be traveling on two story buses!!
