Maths Week 2020

MATHS WEEK 2020!

This week we have celebrated Maths Week by taking in parts in loads of maths activities. Here are our school's final results at the end of a busy week!Unfortunately due to the Level 2 changes we were unable to send our 4 teams to compete in the Northland Mathex Competition in Whangarei. We hope that it will still happen later this year!

Rimu Trick Shot Challenge

Wacky Hair Day Google Meet

Wacky Hair Day Google Meet

After lots of discussion about the terrible state of our hair due to lockdown, we decided that we should do a wacky hair day and attend our Friday morning google meet with our wacky hair. Such fun and some fabulous creativity! 

How is your hair looking during lockdown? Have you taken part in a wacky hair day before?

Rimu Syndicate Easter Hunt

Today a number of students from our Rimu Syndicate took part in our Easter Scavenger Hunt. They needed to find items in or around their house that started with each letter of the alphabet. All items needed to fit into one square metre of space and then needed to be photographed with their faces in the pic too!

Lots of fun and great entires!

WaterSafeTraining session

WATERSAFE TRAINING

What an exciting session this morning learning skills to keep ourselves safe in and around the water. The weather was a little chilly and the wet life jackets were cold to put on but lots of fun and learning took place.

Next week we look forward to our second session where we have to bring some old long pants and a long sleeved top or pyjamas to wear over our togs in the pool.

I wonder why we we need these...

Have you had water safety training this year? If so, what did you learn?
