Holiday Writing

In Nikau all children have been busy writing about their amazing holiday.

In Miss Kim's literacy group, the children have focussed on writing about one particular highlight/lowlight of their holiday, using exciting words. They have been published and are available on the back wall for everyone to read and enjoy!

Art, art, and more art!

This term Nikau children have been busy with a lot of designing, drawing and painting with calendar art, painting godwits, and creating fantasy birds for Sculpture on Shore.  The Sculpture on Shore art are still in the making but are already looking spectacular. We cannot wait to see the final product!

Maths Problem Solving Thursdays

This term every Thursday we have whole class maths problem solving sessions.

Integrating our inquiry topic 'Flight' with maths, the students each created their own paper planes.

Afterwards the Nikau children took turns trialling their paper planes.  We were fascinated at the different ways and lengths each plane flew.




At the end we used a trundle wheel to measure how far our top 5 planes flew:
