There's NO "I" in TEAM

W.A.L.T. create a video using puppets to tell the story about a great relationship we learnt about

• Team Doesn't have an “I”  in it.    
• Include others
• When there is some one that is left out go to them and ask them if they want to play with us
• Do not leave others out.

 W.A.L.T.  include others in our games. We are learning that we need to work together as a team, share skills and strategies so we can win fairly and everyone can participate. In life we need to make great relationships with others in teams, individually and in classes.

Shay and Marks Puppet Presentation

W.A.L.T have a good relationships. We used puppets as our characters. Our title was Don’t trust Bullies. In life we need to work individually and together as a team.

Relationship Presentation using Lego "It's Cool to Help!"

W.A.L.T. express their ideas, needs, wants, and feelings appropriately and listen sensitively to other people and affirm them. We learnt to help each other, we also learnt that you should do it very often. Our title is the mighty battle. My characters are Knight one and Knight two. My presentation with lego is about to help each other.

Kaavin and Calais' Relationships Presentation-Don't Be Selfish"

Don’t be selfish

W.A.L.T.  - we were learning about not being selfish and we made a puppet show about sharing with new people.  When we did our puppet show I was nervous, then we did our show, we did it for exactly 30 seconds.  I made my puppet show with Calais.  Next time I will need to speak louder so that you can hear me better on the video.

Matariki Whanau Day 2017

Te Moana began their Matariki Day at the beach at Paihia and were ever so fortunate to be able to see the seven matariki stars shinning in the sky. We then had a shared breakfast with friends and whanau at school before we relaxed in the classroom before the rest of the class arrived later at school. during the day we created amazing art pictures that are to be displayed in our whare. Harko Brown came to school and shared some weaving, poi games and another game to strengthen our muscles and co-ordination in teams. Before our scrumptuous delicious shared lunch we each planted some trees and shrubs between our bike track and creek to encourage birds to visit our kura. As one of our pupils was going back to Europe, namely Germany, then Canada for a holiday, we enjoyed some yummy cupcakes that he and his Mum had made to celebrate his birthday that was on our Whanau Day.

Celebration -Rocket Launch New Zealand

One of the students in Te Moana, Imogen, chose to inquire about the Rocket launch at Mahia because someone very special to her was involved with it's launch.

Rocket Experiments

Imogen and I researched how we could launch our own rocket. We had to do a variety of experiments before our rocket actually launched. In the first experiment we put the lid on too tightly. In the second experiment we nearly drowned Shirley. In the third experiment the lid was too loose and the rocket only launched 30 cm off the ground. In our final experiment we learnt that you should not launch a rocket under a roof.
