STEAM Challenge Week 7 Term 1

Every two weeks Tuakana Toru complete a STEAM challenge.  We were challenged to design and build a brushbot to paint a picture using fractions of colour. It really was challenging.

Check out our shared book for this week

We all get stuck at times and Floyd is no exception. We would love you to share our shared book and thinking. Click on the image to follow our learning. 

Be More Dog!

To start our year, we watched a wonderful YouTube clip and discussed what it meant to us. 





We decided we wanted to be more DOG not CAT. 

Bethany The Master Chef

As a part of our Passion Project, self-directed inquiry, Bethany's goal was to inspire young people to cook. She certainly achieved her goal!

Sarah Johnson's book signing at Books for Kids

Room 10 were privileged to be asked to create artwork inspired by Sarah Johnson's book the Bold Ship Phenomenal to display in the Books for Kids store in Hamilton East. We would like to say a huge thank you to the lovely ladies at Books for Kids who were generous and gave us a free book if we visited the store. Happy Birthday Books For Kids.

             

Room 10 Entertains at The Bankwood School Production

Room 10 performed as the Young Farmer's Club in our school production of Wooden Arms by Sarah Johnson. We practised and practised and practised! It wasn't easy dancing swan lake in gumboots :)

Haka, written by Patricia Grace

You will have noticed we have been reading Haka as our shared book. We talked about why the haka is so important to New Zealanders and how it is an important part of our culture. We also realised the haka, and there a many, have been handed down from generation to generation. The purpose may have changed for some over time, but its importance remains.
