Why do we celebrate Waitangi Day?

Room 8 has researched information about the Treaty of Waitangi.  It is an important document in our country's history, but what do we know about it?

The students in Room 8 were asked to research about the Treaty and present this information using Google Slideshow.

For some students this was the first time they had used Google Slideshow.  I think everyone did an amazing job, especially since they only had just over an hour to research and present their work!

Sun facts

As part of our inquiry unit, Room 1 has been researching facts about our sun. We have shared our knowledge by created a Google Slideshow. Some people learned how to add transitions and animate their text and images. Enjoy learning about the sun. Please leave a comment!

NZ Maths Challenge

Last week Room 8 took part in the nation wide New Zealand Maths Challenge, run by Mathletics.

 After a frustrating start (the website crashed!), we were able to get onto the site and challenge the rest of the country.


Here are a few photos of Room 8 taking part in the challenge.
