Welcome back to school Rūma Weka tamariki! Term 3 begins....

We have had an amazing return to school and beginning of Term 3. It is so wonderful to see the ākonga (students) in our class beginning to grow in confidence with their learning. This term we will continue to work hard! Below are some photos of the tamariki (children) learning some Maths and Science (will things change in water?).

Maths - Measurement (Length)

In Rūma Weka, we have been busy learning about measuring different lengths. Our students are learning about millimetres, centimeters and meters and have been using this knowledge to create some brilliant pirate ships. The tamariki (children) decided that the length of the ship would be 10 meters long and used their 1 meter rulers to begin their measuring. It was such a fun and engaging activity and everyone has enjoyed learning about measuring length. This week we will focus on centimeters!

Tuhituhi (Writing) - Term 2 (2023)

This term we have been focusing on descriptive writing. Our ākonga (students) have been learning to use words to describe the Big Bad Wolf from The Little Red Hood. We have been learning to use WOW words in our writing to make it more interesting. Keep up the good work team!

Science Week 2023

The students in Rūma Weka had a wonderful time during Science Week. Here they are making 'fireworks in a jar' and experimenting with adding drops of dishwashing liquid to a mixture of milk and food colouring.

Our Term 2 Week 2 Mahi

We have been working super hard in Rūma Weka and taking part in lots of different learning. Our tamariki loved baking Anzac Biscuits during Anzac Week and learning lots of different things about that period of time.

We have also been doing some different science experiments, everyone enjoyed seeing the fun reaction between baking soda and vinegar.

We also recently had a week where all of our students were present, so we took the opportunity to take a class photo. What a great team we have! Ka rawe!

Pork Pie Run 2023

Today our kura was lucky enough to have the Pork Pie Run visit. Our class loved seeing all of the minis and hearing the crazy horns! Such a wonderful experience!

Rūma Weka - Term 1 (2023)

We have been working incredibly hard in Rūma Weka this term. We have been focusing on problem solving during our mathematics time on a Monday. Here are some photos of the tamariki trying to make different patterns out of 12 shapes. It was quite challenging but rewarding to watch them figure it out! Kia Kaha Rūma Weka.
