The Looker-on

In He Puna Kawenga we have been learning to write descriptions.  To write descriptions you have to be good at noticing ,observing and wondering. We went  around the school doing this then wrote  poems inspired by Frank Kendon's the Looker-on. Here are some of our poems.

Water Safety session

Hair one minute, gone the next

Today Maddison had her hair shaved off in front of the class. She decided to do it to raise money for Shave for a Cure as her Gran died of terminal cancer in 2016. So far she has raised $1090.

Active Learning

In week 6 we started our active learning sessions. There are four activities and we will do a different one each week. This week there was baking with Mrs Pedley, creating an igloo for our guard penguins in class, creating a sled for our little penguins and snowflake symmetry. We had lots of fun and were very creative, imaginative and innovative.

Six Word Memoirs

He Puna Kawenga created 6 word memoirs.

We had to carefully choose 6 words to innovate a phrase about something we like or something that is important to us.

Here are some of our memoirs.
