Take a look at some of the awesome stuff Room 19 has been up to this term…and it is only week 3!
We have been discovering more about volcanoes using the science box.
Foraging and cooking delicious food in Garden to Table.
Working on our creative writing skills and designing pictures using Google Drawings to support our story.
Congratulations to Week 3’s Kauri certificate winners. Thank you for being such good role models for your peers and displaying our school values. Keep up the awesome work!
Room 21 created artworks inspired by the artist Sandra Silberzweig. They were also asked to choose four words that described their likes and abilities. They used pastels, vivids, watercolour and their imaginations to complete these.
We hope you enjoy looking at their colourful creations!
What words describe yourself and the things you like?
Well done to our students who are continuing to show the school values of Manaakitanga, Manawanuitanga and Kaitiakitanga.
Congratulations to these students from The Hive, who have been recognised for their great work over the last two weeks.
Kauri Team were lucky enough to go to the Maritime Museum to learn about the journey of our ancestors to New Zealand and importance of looking after our ocean.
Thank you to all our parent helpers that made the trip possible.
It was a fantastic day!
Year 6 students had an amazing day at Pt Erin Pool yesterday.
They bravely flung themselves off diving boards, hurtled down slides, bounced off the inflatable confidence course, soaked in the hot tub, enjoyed spending time in the playgrounds and in each other’s company.
Thank you to the parents and caregivers who were able to come along and join the fun!
What was your favorite activity at the pool yesterday?
Kia ora bloggers,
Tomorrow, many of our Kauri students will be representing Ōwairaka School at the Eden/Albert Zone Athletics. We wish them all the best and know they will make us proud!
Here are a few photos from our school athletics day, showing students from the Hive who showed manaakitanga and sportsmanship.
Kia or Bloggers,
Every year Kauri Team students write, film and edit their own original movies. Here are the 6 we chose to share at the Ako Hiko Film Festival. The rest can be found on our individual learning blogs. Check them out! We are so amazed at all the incredible ideas students had! You can see each student’s own edited film on their blog. So what are you waiting for? Go check them out!

On Friday the 15th of September the Hive went to the Maritime Museum. Unfortunately, it was too windy to sail on the Ted Ashby, an old-fashioned sailing boat, but we still had a great time.
Here are the three top things we learned:
Number 1 – Sailing is hard work!
Number 2 – The Polynesians were incredible navigators!
Number 3: Class distinctions were very clear on the immigrant sailing ships that
arrived in New Zealand during the 1800’s. If you were rich you would travel in style. You would have some space above the deck and better food.
If you were poorer, you would only have a bunk bed below deck which was dark and stuffy with little room to move. Often you had to share this with another member of your family. Food often went rotten and there wasn’t much fresh drinking water.
Would you have had the strength to travel like this to New Zealand in the 1800’s?
Blog you later!
Our focus for School Values is Manaakitanga.
Remember our school rules are: Be Safe, Be Kind. That will help to keep the hundreds of people at this school happy. What can you do to show Manaakitanga in your life? (not just at school!)
Here are some thoughts from our fabulous Kauri students about Manaakitanga:
