Fossil Making Fun

Blue Bots

We have been super lucky to have been gifted 12 Blue Bots and chargers by our wonderful Board of Trustees.  Mamaku 3 spent this afternoon experimenting with them and seeing just what they could do.  Fair to say there was 100% engagement from EVERYONE and the collaboration and learning was AMAZING!  We can't wait to use these more in our learning!  Thanks BOT!

Week 8 Assembly

Pandas for Mandarin

This term we have Emma from Tai Poutini Polytech in teaching us how to speak Mandarin.  This week we had lots of fun learning how to make Panda masks.  Don't they look amazing!  Thanks Emma - this was lots of fun!!

Ms Bixby Movie Trailers

As one of our last Chapter Chat tasks we had to create a movie trailer for Ms Bixby's Last Day.  We LOVED creating these and had so much fun using our imagination to recreate scenes from the book.  

Assembly Week 3 Term 2

Mamaku 3 are on Assembly this week.  We have chosen to share our writing that we have been creating, using snappy statements to inspire people to read these books.



Trent and Alex were also amazing ambassadors for our class during Chapter Chat and they had their weekly task recognised nationally on Twitter - amazing stuff guys!  Well done!




We also shared our Robert Delaney inspired Art which we have started.  Watch this space to see the completed products!  This is the piece that we are using as our inspiration.
