Welcome to our school blog. We have information about our school and the things we do, and the learning that is happening in Hoiho, Kea, and Pukeko classes. We are a rural primary school a short drive from Hokitika, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
Due to the severe weather warning, we decided to close the school on Tuesday the 20th and Wednesday the 21st of February. Please keep safe and we will see all the children back on Thursday morning.
WALT (We Are Learning To) compare cups of water that are at different temperatures and to order them from coldest to hottest.
WALT use a thermometer and spot that when things are hot the red liquid rises and when it is cold, the red liquid level goes down!
We used words like Freezing, Chilly, Cold, Warm, Hot, Boiling...
Dear Parents and Caregivers This is just a reminder of our Teacher Only Day this Wednesday the 30th of August. The school will be closed for the day, but it will be business as usual on Thursday again. The day will be spent on professional development in the area of assessment with staff from other schools within our Westland Community of Learning. Kind regards Casper Kruger
Learning about New Zealand's Freshwater Invertebrates.
As part of our Enviro Schools unit of "Water for Life", the Hoiho Room studied some of the freshwater invertebrates they could find in Duck Creek just behind our school.
