Biography

CAMP!!!

Last week, Te Wao Nui o Tane children left for a four day and three night camp! We stayed at Micamp which is located in Mission Bay, Taupo. We had such an amazing time challenging ourselves to try things that scared us. Ask us some questions on our blog or out in the playground (we love talking about camp)!

Look at all of our bags!!!

Here is a photo of the field with Lake Taupo in the background.

This is where we did our kayaking.

Some of us even snuck in a swim in the lake!

This was where most of us slept (and dried our clothes).

This is a picture of the scary activities! High ropes, rock climbing, abseiling, and the flying fox. Lots of us screamed our heads off while we were having a go at these.

If the children are about 1.5m tall, how high do you think the tower is?

A Weta At West End School

Today we found a weta by the library.

Have you seen any bugs in unusual places?

Learning about how to set up our blogs!

                                 
Today, the children in Room 1 learnt about how to set up their blogs. They chose a new background, font, and colour scheme. Now, most of the class are able to find their way around their blogs!

Learning how to be a good buddy

Today, Mrs McKnight came into our BIG classroom to talk to us about how to be a good buddy.

We learnt about what is expected of us when buddying in Room 9 and also out in the playground.

 

Mrs McKnight answered lots of our questions and now we know what to do.

We can't wait to get to know our Room 9 buddies! 

Growth Mindset

Te Wao Nui o Tane are learning about 'Growth Mindset.' Below are a few videos that Room 1 have been watching to better understand how it all works. Keep checking back as we share our growing shared understanding.
