Spark - Matariki

-

 Today the middle and senior school took part in a 'Spark Ignition' activity. Students went around the school on a scavenger hunt looking for 24 different markers that all related in some way to Matariki. We will be doing mini projects around these areas over the course of the term.  At each activity, students had to come up with two wonderings and a question. These questions and wonderings will help us drive our learning. Please ask the kids about what they saw and enjoyed.

Golden Time - Ice Cream Sundae

 Dear Parents, We have been writing procedural writing this week. Today we learned that instructions need to be very detailed and in the correct order. We had toast that never made it to the toaster, butter and jam put onto our plate without toast. Some toast wasn't cooked others burnt to a crispt.  For Golden time we have written how to make an Ice Cream Sundae. I will provide the ice cream, bowls, and spoons, the students need their toppings. There will be no sharing so only provide enough for one. Please have your child work on telling you the procedure of how things are done. Eg. How do you brush your teeth. What are the detailed steps?
