 * Jake is busy with the laptop working on finding information about his place of study for a class project.
 * Matthew finds that sitting on the couch with a laptop is a comfortable way to find information about the Rotorua area.
 * Beauty. Fun. Play. Adventure - this was the theme for our Term 2 study. We had to make up an itinerary for a group of tourists travelling around New Zealand, making sure that these 4 words were paramount in our planning.

=Cycle Safe - Term 2 = =In the first few weeks of this term our class had Cycle Safe. We had fabulous instructors and we learnt a lot of good safe practices that will help us on the road.= = = Cycle Safe was fun even though we had to wear funny hairnets under the helmets we borrowed from the instructors. We learnt many safety practices and our cycling skills on the road really improved. We are very proud of our efforts.

Art Exhibition -Week 10 Term 2

Our work this term had a 'Kiwiana' theme to tie it in with our inquiry topic. We had fun in the classroom putting together our clay works and a suitable background for display. 

 Matilda and Kathryn are very intent on making their Kiwiana objects creatively.

Eton carefully paints his sports equipment. 

Gabriel's piece depicting the Skytower won first prize. Congratulations Gabriel.

Rory's kiwi diorama was stunning and received a highly commended. Congratulations Rory.

Matilda's scene showing what our cheeky friends the kea can do to our vehicles in the high country was also highly commended. Congratulations Matilda.

Hannah's clay jandals were wonderful and they also received a highly commended. Congratulations Hannah.
 * Note: The Art Exhibition/Auction was an enormous success with a lot of money raised. The money will go towards making the costs for our Senior Camp in term 4 more manageable. A great night was had by all - yummy dessert cakes, delicious coffee, scrumptious chocolate fountain and a feast for our eyes.**
