Can you find the New Zealand Birds?

Room 9 went bird watching yesterday. Can you spot any birds in the pictures? 

Using Google Sheets

Room 9 have been learning about  New Zealand birds as part of our environmental and sustainability inquiry. This week we learnt about statistical inquiries and did one about New Zealand Birds.  We collected data about Room 9s favourite birds and we then used google sheets to put the data in. We had a go at creating a graph or chart. Keep an eye out tomorrow for our graphs.

Rangatahi Festival at Park Estate School

Yesterday Park Estate School held the 2017 Rangatahi festival. We had an amazing day and didn't let the rain stop us performing. 

Learning about Pakistan

This week we held the annual Rangatahi festival. We were extremely fortunate to have Ayla's mum come in and teach us about Pakistan. We were all fascinated hearing about where Alyas family come from. We created a padlet of facts to share our learning with others. 

Room 9's Waka

Room 9 created their own Waka. We all have to work together and help each other! We talked about how we all have different roles and responsibilities in our classroom and when everyone contributes, our classroom moves like a strong waka.
