Students Learn about the Rugby World Cup

 

Rugby World Cup in Room 7

This week, room 7 was learning about the Rugby World Cup. Some were learning how to label and choose the right colours for each flag of the different countries playing rugby. “For our flags we have to choose the right colours and label the meanings of for them,” mentioned Manaia. Cameron was designing a new T-shirt for his adopted country Romania and had finished designing a new All Blacks T-shirt. Others like Mercedes, Mavis and Tatiana were working on their cultural wheel. “In our cultural wheel we are writing about our own culture,” Tatiana claimed. Room 7 were doing their topic on the Rugby World Cup. Room 7 enjoyed their topic. Well done Room 7!

Fire Safety

 

This term the Junior School have been learning about people who keep us safe. Room 11 have been working on their own stuff. They have been making fire fighter costumes and masks. Anni and I, Hineula, have been taking photographs of them working on their art and they told us lots of information about keeping safe. Here Holden Oti, Serraphina Sua, Selina Mahani, Katelyn Sinclair, Letisha Anderson, Blade Tiki, Pauline Kaulave, Gabriel Daniel, Deprey Walu, Trinity Marechal, Faith Walker and Renato Teokotai show off their masks.

Volcanic Eruptions

Room 14 have been studying volcanoes this term and put their knowledge to the test in the Kelvin Road School sandpit. They used vinegar and soda to create several types of life like eruptions. Luckily, the 50 volcanoes under Auckland are extinct, thought Miss Taffard, as she saw the 25 eruptions made by her class and the mess left behind.
