Introducing Room 13

Here is a short clip of all the students in Room 13. Watch and listen as we share a bit about ourselves and at the end, you're in for a real treat - Pt England Styles.

Swimming

Our children have been very fortunate to have swimming lessons at the Glen Innes Aquatic Centre. They are divided into three groups according to their abilities in the water and children learn swimming skills. Each group has a qualified and very friendly instructor that teaches them for half an hour per session. There are eight sessions in total. Here is a short clip of what they've been doing so far.

Riverside has begun!

Riverside is an afterschool club for children Y4 - 8. It's held every Wednesday from 3.30-5pm. All the children have heaps of fun playing games and learning different life skills. There's even an end of year camp. Here are some photos from some of the students in Room 13. Can you see who they are?

Netbooks in Class

We've had our first two days using Netbooks and the children have done so well. We've learned how to create a doc and file it in the right folder. The children know that if they don't, then the teacher can't see it. And some of us got to use MathsWhizz for the first time. Today we had Mr Barks come in and show us the beginning stages of making a presentation in Google. Here are some photos of us with our Netbooks.

Chrome Book Roll Out

We had our first roll out of Chrome Books in our class on Friday 8th February. It was an amazing experience. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Burt, Mrs Tele'a, all the Manaiakalani people involved and to the Tamaki Transformation Project and everyone else that helped make it happend. We can't wait to use them for our learning in class on Monday. Here are some photos!
