Mandarin with Mr Zhao! 

This year we have a fantastic Mandarin teacher who will guide students to a better understanding of the Chinese language and culture. We have him every Wednesday for 30 minutes. This week he talked about Chinese New Year and how people around the world celebrate it.




Robogals in Room 3

A member of the Robogals engineering team from the University of Auckland held a robotics workshop for room 3. Robogals is an international team which was created to encourage girls and boys to learn about engineering. Students in room 3 had an awesome opportunity to code on the computers and design their own program to instruct the robots. The theme was a zombie apocalypse - students had to program their robot in the right direction to instruct their robots out of the maze!

Week 7 Term 1 Writing: This week we started learning about narrative writing. We talked and wrote about memories we remember vividly and what emotions connect with those memories. We talked about the stories and pieces of writing that we have really enjoyed. We identified 3 stories we would take to a deserted island... We created "What if..." questions to help inspire our own narrative writing. Next week we will think about setting and character. Through this process of narrative writing we will make connections in the story which link to our own identity. The students will have the wonderful opportunity to be creative in their writing and use lots of descriptive vocabulary. Maths: Our focus this term has been developing our number knowledge and applying our number knowledge and strategies to problem solving questions. Here is a photo of students working in groups using different number strategies to solve each others problem. Mandarin L...
