Place Value Maths

Room 5 have been doing some awesome maths. They had to answer a number story involving place value and then share their answer first with a buddy and then in a group. Last of all they shared their answer with the class. Everyone got the same answer but worked it out in different ways.

Student Teacher

Room 5 has a new student teacher - Mr Bell, for the next seven weeks. He has many interest some of these being sport, insects and growing plants. I know the children are going to learn lots from Mr Bell over the following weeks.

Kaiwaka Swimming Sports

What an awesome day! And the students were so competitive.
We also enjoyed watching samples of Rm 2 and 3's swimming lessons.

A glimpse of the classroom.

'Top of the Rock'

This year Kaiwaka School was involved in running a gala type function around the 'Top of the Rock'. We had lots of fun especially the students who came and helped with the fun races.

Camp 2011

We had an awesome time at camp this year. Lots of challenging activities that encouraged team work. We were also really successful in forming guidelines to keep everyone safe. Enjoy our photos - especially the ones of the water fight. The teachers got really wet!

Christchurch Earthquake

On Thursday we dressed up in black and red to support the people of Christchurch. We raise over $200 to be sent down. Lots of the children did jobs at home to earn the money they gave.
