Museum

Museum Trip

A fascinating day at the Auckland Museum - exploring, learning, sharing and collaborating. We all had a wonderful time and Room 7 demonstarated FIRE and ACE - our school values.

Our children loved the 'Wierd and Wonderful' section and were both intruiged and scared when experiencing the sensation of an earthquake.

It was a beautiful summers day and during our lunch break we spent time outside on the grass and climbing trees.

Maori

KORU

The koru (Māori for "loop or coil") is a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling silver fern frond. It is an integral symbol in Māori art, carving and tattooing, where it symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace.

Thank you for sharing Pepe - the Koru design looks stunning.

Such a treat to have mufti day on a Friday where the students and staff could dress up as their favourite animal.

With only 2 weeks of Term 3 left - our favourite teacher Mrs Pohlen, was very lucky and received this stunning bouquet of roses to brighten up our lively and eccentric Room 7 habitat.

Measuring Objects and Lines

                    

                     Measurement in Room 7

Using our rulers to calculate the exact measurement in cm's, mm's and metres. Being precise in our measuring to ensure it is accurate.

We used estimates - which are an intellegent guess and then compared them to the actual measurement to see the difference in our calculation.

Measuring the length and width of various objects enables us to compare and contrast. 

Our next step is to explore perimeter - the continuous line forming the boundary of a closed geometrical shape.
