The Journey

Room 16 performed in Hoon Hay's production, The Journey. As a class we performed an item that reflected the Australian culture. Here we are on our last night of performance!           

We did graphs in room 16 and 15 on Wednesday first of August, here are some photos:

Maths at hoon hay!

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy doing our maths this way. 

Today Quinn and I worked on solving this problem:

Emily-Rose hung out 6 loads of washing for her Mum. Each load contained 16 items of clothing. How many items of clothing did she hang out?

This is how we did it:

Easter weekend.

In the weekend I went to peel forest Eco lodge and stayed in Huatekerekere cabin. We had burgers for dinner and went  black berry picking.  Afterwards we had a yummy black berry pie!   

Koru art

For the last couple of weeks I have been creating my own koru art based on the work of Raewyn Harris. She is a New Zealand artist and you can look at her work on this link. 

I have enjoyed creating this masterpiece, and I hope you enjoy it too!
