Our fabulous Maths Challenge at Kuirau Park


Last Thursday we had a great trip to Kuirau Park, with lots of different maths-based activities to do at each of the ten stations.The children had i-pads to scan the Q code, which opened and told them what their task was and how to find the next activity. All the thermal activity was  really interesting and was a great background for following the trail. The children did a great job and really enjoyed it, as well as a play at that fantastic playground!
Many thanks to the family members who went with each group and helped out. Here are some photos.

Fun in Jackson Park


Hello everybody!
We've had a very busy start to our year and all the students have handled the summer heat very well. Thank you for keeping the hats going- with this very hot weather it is essential to have a hat on outside. Water bottles are great too- the children don't have to wait in the queues for the drinking fountains!
One of the exciting activities is going to Jackson Park for developmental P.E. on Friday. Normally, year 2 aren't allowed on Jackson Park so this is very special. They can choose equipment, friends and make up any game that they like and they have a fabulous time! Here are some photos- they are a bit small but might give you some idea.
