We love Ki-O-Rahi !

Today room 6 maths class, had an absolute blast playing Ki-o-Rahi with the kiwisport coaches. We have missed out on Kiwisport due to our Fiafia practise so we were super excited to get out on the field in the warm weather today. What is Ki-O-Rahi you may ask? Ki-o-Rahi is a traditional pre-European Māori ball game. It is a contact sport, played on a circle shaped field, involving imaginative handling and swift inter passing of a ki, (ball). Before the arrival of Europeans, Ki-o-Rahi was played by Māori in Aotearoa. Many different tribes would play different versions of the game.

Just Clean It!

This term at Point England School, our inquiry focus is all around the word respect. What this means and how we can show it and school and at home. A big part of respect is looking after our things and environment. We have been doing a school wide rubbish pick up. We do this in teams. Check out the awesome rubbish pick up we did the other day.

Making and Flying Kites

Room 24 have been learning about the design process for our technology Inquiry 'Now that's Thinking' ... We made kites using paper, string and straws. We had lots of fun flying them outside - we are discussing in class what we can do to improve our kites so that they fly better! Watch this space to see our new and improved designs!

The Lovely Room 24

Learning About Fractions

Today we learnt about fractions in Room 24. A number or shape that is spilt into equal parts become a FRACTION. We used play dough and pretended it was a chocolate bar. We cut it into halves,  and thirds. 

Wacky Hair and Wheels Day

Today we had wacky hair and wheels day at school. We could come to school with wacky hair, wheels and mufti. We are raising money so the seniors can go on camp. Check out our wacky hair!
