Term 2: Week 1

Nau Mai, Hoki Mai ki te Kura mō te whananga tuarua! Welcome back to school for term 2

This week has been busy! The school had (pūtaiao) Science in a van which was really entertaining, engaging and students learn't some really cool facts about science in a fun way!

In Pāngarau (maths) we have been learning about Measurement ( īne) length, perimeter and area. So the tauira have been focusing on non-standard ways of measuring different objects in the classroom and in the school grounds. The tamariki really enjoyed these activities!
