Room 7 Models - Ideas For A New Playground

Room 7 had a great time designing and then making 3 dimensional models of their ideas for a new playground in front of the existing Room 6, 7 and 8. There are some great ideas that meet the criteria of having a playground that is fun, safe, colourful and suitable for all ages groups and abilities.

Coastal Cross Country

Once again the Oakura Students demonstrated our school values while competing in the Coastal Cross Country event at Omata. Although the course was challenging, all students tried their very best and achieved their personal goals.
We were proud of each and every one of you.

Cycle Skills Training

All Year 5 & 6 students were lucky enough to take part in cycle skills training. Having a correctly fitted helmet is very important so that our brains are protected.








The 'slow race' proved a challenge with students having to ride as slow as they possibly could across the courts. The winner was the last person to get to the other side. Well done to Allie.

Science in Room 7

 In room 7 we have been learning about the importance of including vegetables in our diet. We also discovered that you can grow a new onion plant just by planting the pieces that is cut off the bottom of the onion and often thrown away. We also discovered that mushrooms grow from spores.
