Contributions to School

This week have been busy for our learners. They have been contributing lots to their school community.

Hohepa was part of the kapa haka performance on Thursday. The Kapa Haka received 2 standing ovations!

We also had a number of students go to the cross country zones - Alexandra, Abeera, Kaia, Django, Varun, Ruby, Millie, Denise, Max and Hohepa.  

We also have some students (Alexandra, Raynah, Eunice, Qiqi, Max and Hohepa) creating school signs with Mrs. Southcombe. Looking forward to seeing what they have created.

W3, T3: Coding for Maths

Last week, for maths we learnt about coding. Coding allows us to practise logic and reasoning.  We used a lot of problem solving skills. Did we stop and think about it? Will trial and error work? Can our past experiences help us? Did we ask a friend to give us a clue?

Our teachers gave us 3 challenges and gave us only a few clues.

The first coding challenge was to make our name change our colour by clicking on it. Click on the letter to change the colour.
