We made it!

We started talking about being up in the block early this year. 

It was not long after that we anticipated moving into the classroom with a view. 

Lunchtime today, come rain or shine, was to be our moving time. With the help of 10 or so Kauri students and some of our own muscles, we did it! 

The kids aren't phased, some love the view (hmm, and me). Some love the feeling of being up high, and a few love the idea that they can practise their morse coding (a.k.a. self-designed sign language) to others down below.

Here's out view out onto the block...

KiVa rocks!

Being a great person and someone who thinks of others are some of the most important attributes we can hold. Standing by and watching someone being bullied is actually supporting the bully in a way. Telling an adult is not tale-tattling. Check out our quick drawings today showing what we can do if we see someone being bullied.

Bath Bombs Away!

Our Inquiry focus this term is around marketing.
What better product to market in a few weeks at the Rimu Market Day than bath bombs!
These will be packaged and ready to go. Here are some shots of the beginning stages in our process...

Junior Concert Performance by Rimu 5

Look at our great class doing their fantastic performance today at school. 

Discovery Time in Rimu

Here's a snapshot of Discovery Time this afternoon in Rimu 5 and out on the court.

Construction with straws and connectors. This tower ended up being as tall as the girls in a 4x4 formation!

A great buzz in the room with different children from Rimu interacting with each other to design and build amazing structures with straws and magnetic tiles.

Check out this house. These 6 children worked cooperatively to build this.

Wow, these look fantastic. Another group of students working collaboratively.

Wyatt and Storm, the start of some chairs and tall towers.

Can you throw a frisbee into a bin?

Some great work this week...

Some of the children have been learning about how to add 9 to any number. We first make 9 a 'tidy number', 10. We add 10 to the number and take 1 away. Next time we'll be working on adding 11 and 12.

Mrs H started some fabulous magical hand art on Wednesday. Here are two unframed but finished products by Wyatt and Marissa....
