Our new school is coming along

Mr M came on to show us how the new school is coming along... 

Here's what will be our new learning space!

Test driving furniture

We have been taking a new stool for a test drive!

We like the way it doesn't take up much space and we can rock a little bit while we work.

Do you have one of these in your class?

Creating Pathways to Grow Heroes

Today Mr M brought in a board with 4 versions of the Mascot Concept for our new School.

"Wonder Weka" is the character. The Weka is a bird which used to be found in our Hornby area, long before buildings were here. It features on our Kapa Haka uniforms already.

We got to vote for the one we liked. We then had to explain to Mr M what we liked about it.

Wonder Weka 1:

"He looks like an adventurer."

 "He has a hat on, and we have to have a hat on so we don't get burnt in the sun."

Wonder Weka 2:

"I like the fact that he is taller."

"I like the kite and the name."

"He looks prouder."

"I like that the belt is a bit smaller."

Wonder Weka 3:

"The kite's bigger on it's own."

"I like the fact that he looks bigger."

"He looks stronger."

"It looks like he can persist."

"His thumbs are bigger."

"I like the mask. He looks like an actual super hero."

Wonder Weka 4:

"I like the big belt."

Playground Plans

Mr M came in this morning to show us the plans for what our new playground, at our new school, might look like.

Mr M with the board showing 3 options for equipment.

When Mr M comes back, he wants us to be able to answer 3 Questions:

Which one is our favourite? -The one you like the most.

Why do you like it? What activities are on it that we like?

Is there something missing that you'd really like to see?
