Room 6 Amazing Mathletes. YAY You Did It!

This week Room 6 has achieved our goal of ALL students getting 1000 points or more on Mathletics which means they all earned a certificate. For some children this was their first ever Mathletics award. This is fantastic. You will all be getting so much better at Maths because of your dedication, especially those that carried on raising their points as part of their homework. You ROCK! Keep it up. Here are some of our awesome Mathletes hard at work...

Stardome Trip Recounts

Last week we had an exciting day trip to Stardome Observatory at Auckland's Cornwall Park. Here are some of the children's recounts.

On Tuesday I went to the Stardome on a large bus and there were a lot of kids in the big bus. First we had a big morning tea. Then we had a big play. I played on the slide with some girls. It was fast and dark. Next we had lunch. After lunch room 6, room 5 and room 4 went in the room and sat on a special chair and watched a movie about planets and we saw Jupiter and Mars. I learnt that Jupiter had a big storm. Michelle
