Week 9 - Speed Scrabble Time

Once again we are trialling something different in Room M.  This week it was Speed Scrabble.  Students start with 7 tiles and once they have created a crossword and words using the 7 tiles they tap the table twice and each student is to pick up another two tiles.  This continues until there are no tiles left and then it is the first person to use all their tiles correctly in a crossword.

Week 8 - Multiple Representations of our Thinking

LI: to solve decimal problems

We have been using deci pipes to create models of our thinking and to spark conversations about our metacognition.  Check us out adding decimals to 2 dp.  Well done Tyler, Rik, Erin, Mekura, Paige and Rosie.

Week 8:Leadership Day 2016

Week 8 has started off right. #projectengerize is here today to take our 50 akonga through some nifty leadership activites. Awesome to see our akonga working together and trying new things with a variety of their peers.

Where has the term gone!!!

It is hard to believe that we have just finished Week 7 of Term 1 and that Easter is just around the corner.
Swimming is now all over.  We had our Turaki Swimming Sports last week and today a team of swimmers represented Turaki School at the Interschool Swimming Sports.  14 students went from Room M - congratulations to all of you!!

We are well into our class routines.  Students are planning their own day from their Learning Schedules and the teachers' plan.  There should be some PROVE IT videos popping up on students' blogs next week sharing some of their learning around their Maths goals.

Students are getting better at descriptive writing and we are keen to share some of these so look out for these too.

Brie won the 'AROHA Spin and Win' at assembly this week and won a lunchtime swim for the whole class.

Finally our top Classcraft student is still Jasmin, but hot on her heels is Ben.
