Rimu Teams 5 & 6 - Term 2 Week 8 ending 22 June 2018

The Rimu Team

We're almost there..

We're in week 8 and the term is almost coming to a end. It's been a very full on term for everyone in the Rimu team and our students have done a lot of incredible work. In literacy at the moment students have written some incredibly detailed narratives with Sven. With Jack, they have created some very persuasive debates that even Kerri came down to help judge. Art is well underway, with the two groups creating some stunning photography and kakahu.

Congratulations

Congratulations to the Bayfield Inner City Ki O Rahi team that won the tournament last Thursday. They went through the tournament undefeated and faced a very tough Westmere Primary to win the final. They showed great determination and sportsmanship during the day. Well done to all the students who took part.

Cats

The Rimu team has been off to see the play Cats on Thursday! We actually have two of our very own students performing in it. The whole team was excited to see the show this Thursday. It's perfect timing as the students in our team have been doing an inquiry into the different types of art. We went with the Kauri team who also have students performing. 
Well done to Francesca Eglinton, Alex Fleming & Lucy Gibson our budding actresses!
It was a fun day!

Rimu Teams 5 & 6 - Term 2 Week 6 ending 8th June 2018

The Rimu Team

The Term So Far..

We are over half way through the term now and what a great term it has been.  
In math we have started learning about algebra and patterns in number.  We are also revisiting decimals and fractions as we needs lots of work on these.
We have switched up our writing groups and our narrative writers are now writing persuasive texts and vice versa.  We have also started extra workshops around spelling rules, grammar and punctuation.
Reading Zone is still going strong and we are really seeing the benefits of reading every day at school and also half an our each night at home.  Just to reinforce though it should be the same book and we should be remembering to bring our books back to school the next day.  A big thank you to those who have donated books to our class library.  We really appreciate it and encourage students if they do have really good books they aren't using to bring them in.  Kids ask your parents first!

X- Country

Congratulations to all of our amazing team who competed last Thursday at the inner city competition.  We came 2nd overall and managed to pick up first place in 3 of the 4 races.  Piper Lodge, Vincent Carter and Gus Dallow all won their categories to claim the title of inner city champion.

Positive Puberty

This was a fantastic experience for our year 6 students.  They have been encouraged to come home and discuss the things they learnt with their parents and ask any further questions they may have...so be prepared.

Art

Are artwork form our first rotation has turned out so well.  Check out some examples below of our Kakahu (cloaks) and photography. We have started displying some in our learning space so come and check them out.
