Buddy Art Time

We were inspired by our recent trip to the Suter to see Sally Burton's exhibition, Pale History. Room 9 students collaborated with our Room 2 buddy class and created amazing creatures out of driftwood. It was pretty crowded but, with the help of amazing adults, the results were fantastic!  More posts of the group artworks will follow soon!

Scooter Stars

Last week Room 9 were able to attend a session on Scooter Skills, organised by the Ride On team at Sport Tasman.  The instructors talked to us about safety on our scooters, how to fit our helmet, what our scooter needed to have and how closed shoes is a must to protect our toes.

We learnt techniques to turn safely, change feet while riding on our scooters for when our legs got tired and about watching out for sneaky driveways.  We even had some fun races at the end - gliding race and sitting down on your scooter race!

Everyone who participated had an amazing time learning about scooter skills and safety.  Thank you Sport Tasman!

Enviro Agents

Is this you??

On Friday there will be a meeting for any students who are interested in becoming an Enviro Agent for the school.  Go along to hear what it is all about in the Library at lunchtime, 12.45.  Room 9 will be selecting two Enviro Agents this year to represent our class.

DIscovery Time in Room 9

Every Friday Room 9 have Discovery Time.  It's a great way for us all to demonstrate out developing Key Competency Skills.  Problem solving, helping each other and negotiating are just some of the skills we use while we are creating!

Suter Trip to Pale History

Last week Room 9 were lucky enough to visit the Sally Burton exhibition called Pale History.  We had lots of wonderful parents to come along and help us discover about this historic New Zealand event where 26 people died.  This was the first major conflict to happen between Māori and Pakeha following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.

We hope you enjoy watching the video and seeing our artwork up in the classroom.
