Americana

 

The Year 4/5/6 team were lucky enough to view some of the cars that drove through Oakura today as part of the Americana event. Students were excited to see the wide range of vehicles - Mrs Z's favourite was definitely the vehicle in the photo above. 

Cricket Skills

 

Room 7 are very lucky to take part in cricket skills over a few weeks. Some great batting and fielding skills developing.

Welcome to 2021

 Welcome to 2021 and another great year of learning in the Year 4/5/6 team. We have got off to a great start - getting to know each other along with learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. We have so much to look forward to this year.

Fun Final Week for 2020

Room 7 students had loads of fun during their last week of school - visiting the rocky shore and the aquatic centre, building shelters in the enviro-centre and finally enjoying quality gifts during the 'secret santa' game. What a great time we all had with a great group of kids. Thank you everyone for making the last school week of 2020 a wonderful time for us all. Miss you all already. 

 

Mind Plus

 

I was very lucky to visit Mind Plus recently to see the fantastic work one of our Room 7 students created. It was a very pleasant visit as not only did I see some great work, I also purchased some beautiful baking that the students had baked themselves. 

Water Safety

 Room 7 students were very lucky to attend a water safety session with Cecily. Important points covered included that if someone is in the trouble in the water, get help immediately and consider your personal safety first. See if you can throw something to the person in trouble to help them float such as an empty bottle or a ball. Also if you find yourself stuck in a rip, then lie on your back, skull and let the rip take you out to the last breaking wave. Surf the waves back in. Try and put your hand straight up for help - you will need to skull horizontally while doing this. If you find yourself caught in a current in a river, then go with the current, on your back, and feet first until you are able to get yourself over to the side of the river bed. Finally if you are going in a boat, always wear a life jacket that fits you properly. 

Wacky Hair Day

 

Well done to all of Room 7 who brought along items for the food bank and also many turned their hair styles wacky. Well done to our two winners - an awesome effort.
