Identity!

Samoan Siapo

As last week was Samoan Independence week, we looked at and designed our own Siapo (tapa cloth). We are currently in the middle of painting and framing them before they go on the wall!

When the Year 8's are away...

The Year 7's got up to a little bit of mischief while the Year 8's were away!

Paper wars, Pizza, Arm Wrestles and Capture the Keys!!

100 Ideas in 10 Minutes!

The Challenge was laid out. How might we get silence in an instant? Mr Price was after 100 ideas in 10 minutes. The Purpose? To force ourselves to become creative with our thinking in order to come up with new ideas! The results? Boom! Over 200!

Cross Country

Well done to all of Room 1 who participated in the School Cross Country last Friday! You all were amazing and did yourself proud! Well done to those who have qualified for the Inter-Intermediate Cross Country race. Here a few snaps taken about 300m from the finish line!

Socio-Cultural Theory

With our last Immersion lesson completed for Inquiry, the students went to Room 4 and looked at socio-cultural theory (Pavlov and his dog! etc) The photos below are of the students teaching each other skills and strengths that they have.

Mind Lab Trip - Fun Theory

On Friday 6th Room 1 we raced out to Petone to have a look at The Mindlab!

Students were introduced to Fun Theory and got to play around with a coding programme called Scratch.

Fun Theory is the topic of our Inquiry this term where students will look into ways of changing behaviours using fun activities.

At Mindlab students got to code a rubbish bin that made a sound when rubbish was thrown in and a virtual game of pong.
