Check out THIS talent?!

Hi team. Whakarua 1 and 2 have been working hard on our Dance to Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Let us know what you think. We came up with the moves together after learning to sing the song. It is so catchy! We have also learned a 'Blast from the past' song thanks to Mrs McIntyre (Fresh Prince of Bel Air). Enjoy.

Whakarua 2's Home Learning Heroes

Brilliant Book Cover Designs

To celebrate finishing our chapter book (Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume), we had a competition to design a new book cover. Each homeroom chose two winners, who earned an extra two Thank You tickets. Check out the wonderful winning book covers in the slideshow.

Week 3: Creative Genius in Whakarua 4

This week there have been many opportunities for Whakarua 4 to show off their design ideas and creative skills. From design unique rain protection gear to abstract art we've all had a chance to shine.

Alongside this many students have put on their scientist hat and had a go at experiments from home.

Some students have already submitted their redesign of the "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" book cover for the competition (see the last few slides). I wonder which one is your favourite so far? Get your entries in to your home teacher by Sunday to have the chance to win extra Thank You tickets.
