Lets go to the market!

Today in Adams and Bishop class we held our very own class market. We had food and drinks with money to spend. The students loved being able to experience a market at school! 


Everyone took their turns to bring up their money and purchase some items!

We were lucky enough to also have Room 5 come and join us for a snack.

Year 3's going for a dip!

This term the year 3's have been lucky enough to get to visit Cameron Pools two times a week for swimming. It has been so much fun getting to see everyone try new things such as holding their breath underwater, jumping into the pool, learning water safety and more!

Chromebook learning!

This term the Year 3's of Bishop and Adams class are learning how to use a Chromebook in preparation for next year. They have been working hard on logging in quickly, blogging, copying and using a document and so much more!


The students have been super lucky to have Year 4 Tuakana or buddies to show them all the tips and tricks of using a Chromebook.

Stardome Observatory!

Wow, what a trip to the Stardome Observatory! We had so much fun playing at the park while we waited for our turn to learn all about space!

In the Observatory, we got to pretend to be astronauts, learn about the planets and do a quiz about space! 

Our last exciting part of the day was watching a movie about a cardboard rocket that visits all the planets! It was great to learn some interesting facts about each planet and also see the constellations in the night sky. 

It was a long day but everyone was amazing. Vaa and Tevini had a little rest on the way back to school.

Practicing our blogging skills!

Today we had a look at our class blog and how we have so many fantastic visitors who comment on our amazing experiences. Everyone in Bishop class wanted to have a chance to be able to have a look at other classes blogs and share their thoughts and comments.

Raad loved looking at all the classes amazing learning. 

Vaa it was great you knew to start your comment off by introducing yourself when we make a comment.

Miraj knew that he needed to say something kind, something helpful and ask a question to make a good blog comment.

Kali made sure to reread his comment to make sure it made sense before he published it to Pohatus classes blog. 

Dorothy is about to publish her comment.

Phersayiz enjoyed her first time creating a comment about Year 5 and 6 camp. She really wanted to know where they found the starfish!

Raiha has been a great friend to Abigail who is new to Bishop Class. She is helping Abigail look through the blogs and explaining to her how we make comments. 

Jashaia made sure he looked properly through all the class blogs before he chose a blog post to comment on. 

Lets get our groove on!

In Bishop Class today we had our very first session of dance. It was so much fun learning new moves such as the toe tap, star jump, criss cross and more!
Reiko and Norman were learning about being connected and how we can connect our bodies using both our feet and hands.


Phersayiz and Teuaki had great fun working together balancing and connecting. 


For some of us in Bishop Class we need to work on our balance but some like Marwah and Raiha we have good balancing skills.

Jesse was focussing really hard on balancing on just one hand and foot. 

Our new student Abigail and Raad were connecting their bodies together through their heads. 

Thank you so much to Jasmine for a great first session of dance. We can now practice all our new moves when we do jump jam in class!
