Welcome to Ruma tahi!

We have been learning to speak Te Reo Māori through waiatas (songs) Māori games using rakau and poi and listening to Māori legends. We learnt about Māori symbols so we decided to make our own book. We wrote sentences using similes and we drew straight and curved lines and used collage to make our symbols.

Bubble Trouble with Room 5!

This term, we had Science in a Van come and visit. It was wonderful and magnificent. We learnt about bubbles and mixtures.

“In class, Miss Kelly did some predictions work with us. We guessed what we thought would happen when we made our own bubbles” - Omera.
"The bubbles go POP! The bubbles fly in the air. Bubbles are fun.” - Gideon


Can you make your own mixture? Put two things together and see what happens!
Remember in Science we…
1.Predict!

2.Observe!

3.Evaluate!
