Maths Evening at Rangikura School


Kia Ora,
Thank you to all who made it out to the Rangikura maths evening last week. It was fantastic to hear all the "maths talk" going around. If you missed it here are some photos of the Room 1 Perimeter City. We all had a great time working in this project.

Learning more about our Tinana (bodies)

Kia Ora,

This term we have been learning more about our tinana (bodies).  We have been learning about the human skeletal system and as part of our learning we built these skeletons.  It was such a fun activity and we thought it was like building a huge puzzle.  Please come and have a look at our skeletons - we would love to tell you more about our learning.

The Kahurangi Dance Group

We just loved the Kahurangi Dance Group Performance yesterday! They were awesome! We were blown away by the stories they shared through song and dance.  We did a shared writing activity afterwards where we all shared our knowledge and Ms. V wrote down our ideas.  Here are some photos of the show.




Room 1 enjoying the brand new Rangikura Library

Today we had our first visit to the brand new Rangikura Library and we loved it! The library looks fantastic and we really enjoyed sitting on the comfy cushions and seats reading our books.  Whaea Pip showed us around and explained to us where all the books were and what books we could have a read from.  We can't wait to go back to the library next week!

An afternoon with our Buddy Class

Kia Ora and welcome back to a new term! We spent our afternoon working with our Senior buddy class in Room 12.  Our task was to create a menu for a 'tuck shop' we had to think of some healthy food choices and also how much items would cost.  Our big buddies really liked some of the ideas we came up with and they thought it would be awesome to have some of those items in a tuck shop.  Our buddies also read to us and we really enjoyed listening to the stories they shared.  We are so lucky here at Rangikura School to have Seniors who love spending time with us Juniors - we can learn a lot from them and they can learn a lot from us!

Learning from each other in Room 1.

In Room 1 we love to help each other and one way we do this is by reading with each other.  Reading with a buddy is a lot of fun and it is a chance to learn from each other.  We just love reading in Room 1 because we know that the more we read the more we learn and that is just awesome! If you would like to hear some great reading pop into Room 1 and we will be happy to share our fantastic reading with you.

Visiting Author


Easy Blog Photo
On Monday we were so lucky to have Juliette MacIver come to visit us and read some of her books. She is a great author and we just loved the way she acted out some scenes from her book. We hope she comes to visit us again soon!
