Ski trip

Hi, hopefully everyone is all geared up for our ski trip tomorrow.  The weather forecast isn't looking the best.  I will be hearing from Rainbow ski field tomorrow morning at around 6am.  I will write on our blog if the trip is cancelled.  Thanks Sue

Enterprising Education

An Enterprising Education is our theme for 2012.  During Term one we have explored the many enterprising attributes (qualitieis) that help us to be enterprising students. Attributes like being able to negotiate, recognising opportunites, being prepared to take calculated risks, having tenacity to persever, being creative, generating ideas, being resourceful, flexible etc.  We explored and matched these qualities by observing 'Horton' in Horton Hears a Who'. 

We then used and recognised these qualities while doing a science theme of 'Water Water everywhere'.  Check our Inquiry learning for more on this. 

Term's 2,3,4  will have us revisiting these qualities at the beginning of each unit and then using these qualities to help us with our group research work.  First we will be exploring electricity, Term 3 involves a sports technology unit, and by term 4 we will be looking at 'Making a difference for all'. 

Our Class

Kia Ora, we are a class of Year 5 and Year 6 students. Take your time and look through our work on our blog as this is one of the many ways we will communicate our learning processes, understandings, experiences and outcomes to parents, whanau, friends and the wider community. Browse through our links - which include our class contract, homework, and a time line of dates. Please feel free to leave comments on what we are doing in Room 4 - we love to hear from you all.
