Thinking Skills - The Hat Challenge
Year 5 students were commissioned to design a hat or fascinator that would be suitable for an audience with the Queen. It had to look good (form) and fit well (function).
The only materials our milliners were able to use were sheets of newspaper and Cellotape.
They had and hour to design and construct their creations for this most auspicious event. They had to co-operate, be innovative, and adapt their designs as they encountered technical and design-based obstacles.

Buddy Class
Gong Xi Fa Cai - Gong Hey Fat Choy - Happy New Year
Every Friday we will meet with our Room 21 buddies. We can remember when we had 'big buddies' in the Senior School and now we find ourselves being those 'big buddies'. During buddy time we will be forming positive relationships, demonstrating key competencies and being a role model.
This Friday we met with our buddy class to create an art piece celebrating the Year of the Rooster.

Mihi
A mihi is a short greeting to introduce our
self to other people in te reo Maori.
It is an important part of the process of meeting people for the first time.

Our mihi includes where we come from, our nationality (iwi), mountain (maunga) and river (awa), school, age and name.
