This will be fun for whānau!

🌿 Reminder for the Working Bee This Sunday! 🌿

We’ve got plenty of jobs on the go!

If you’re coming along and have spare:
🛠️ Wheelbarrows and shovels
🔩 Long screws for timber
🔋 A battery‑operated drill and skill saw (if you have one)
Please bring these with you.

And one more thing - we’re making compost using the bokashi method, so please save up and bring along your food waste to add to the mix!

Come when you can, stay as long as you like - every bit of help makes a difference.
See you in the garden! 💚🌱

Today in Maths Kaikomako Class completed their geometry lessons for this term by making 3D shapes using playdough and sticks.

Tamariki were most successful at making cubes and triangular/square based pyramids. They had a few attempts of a triangular prism and a cuboid!

This was a task that required carefully putting the sticks together as they were not particularly strong/stable. We were also super impressed at the way the tamariki worked together to help each other and display our school values!

It was great to meet Xavier Breed who came today as our Duffy Books in Homes Role Model. Xavier talked about the importance of learning to read, and where reading can take you in life. 📚
