Laptop fun!

Computational Thinking as a curriculum subject encompasses learning in areas such as ICT, Programming, E-safety and Digital Media.

This week we deviated from our Bee Bot work to focus on getting to grips with the fundamentals of a laptop.  We loved exploring the magical powers of the 'Backspace', 'Caps Lock' and 'Enter' functions on our keyboard.  

   

We will continue to navigate our way around a laptop ensuing that we are able to open, use and close 'Word' documents independently.

Karearea can RUN!

The weather was kind as our Karearea lined up for the start of our annual cross-country event.

Each member of the Year 1 class set themselves a goal and worked hard towards reaching this target during training sessions, in preparation for the big day!

It was a fun event......

almost as much fun as the ice-block we had at the end of the race!

Have a look at some of our Karearea class in full 'flight'!

The warm-up

On your marks, Get set, GO!

All finished!  Well done Karearea!

Hei Tiki

Welcome to Term 3.

We have had an extremely busy start to our new term and we are very excited about the School Production that will be taking place in the final week of Term 3.

During Week 2 we began our introduction to Sculpture and our focus has been on the Hei Tiki.  

We are beginning to understand the significance of the Tiki and we are designing our own Hei Tiki.  

Have a look at our designs!

Karearea can swim!

Our two week swimming sessions ended a very busy Term 2.

The progress that our class made has been significant!  

Despite the fact that our Karearea's have been fighting the inevitable winter chills, they turned up each day with smiles on their faces ready to master their new swimming skills.

Have a look at some of the fun we have had!
