Room 21 MVS 2019

Today our Year 6 Syndicate got to 'walk in the shoes of a Marina View Intermediate Student'. All the children will have the opportunity to participate in a range of exciting learning activities to give them a chance to experience what it will be like in our Intermediate department next year. Room 21 split up into our two teams and went to either 3D Printing and Te Reo Maori or Physical Education and 3D Printing. The date of our next transition is to be confirmed, but the children will experience activities such as Science, Dance, Mandarin and Food Technology.

It was a pleasure to award the following students with class certificates in today's Senior Assembly. Looks like ice-cream all round tonight! Marceline for your positive attitude towards learning. Your enthusiasm, focus and organisation make you an absolute pleasure to teach.  Lucy for the effort you always put into your learning. You always complete your work on time and to the best of you ability. And a special congratulations to our Student Teacher, Mr Nayler, for all the hard work he has been doing with our class. We are extremely privileged to have you working with us.

As a team, every fortnight we recognise children who have been displaying active learner qualities inside and outside the classroom (e.g. organised, focused, show time management skills, asks questions, takes responsibility for their learning, shares their valuable ideas in discussions). Each term we also focus on at least two important values. This term we are looking at how we can manage ourselves. This means we make sure we are organised for our learning, we know what to include in our learning tasks and ask questions to check we are on the right track and we complete our learning on time and to a high standard. Congratulations to the following students who have been awarded certificates for their positive attitudes towards learning in the past two weeks. Active Learner Award: Cassandra  Self-Management: Justin & Aria

It was a pleasure to award the following students with class certificates in today's Senior Assembly. Looks like ice-cream all round tonight! Aidan for the progress you are making in your Maths.

Last week our Art challenge was a really fun collaborative one. We all had to work together to colour and piece together a gorgeous kiwi.  It was neat to see the children communicating their ideas and plans and coordinating each of the sections that joined so the picture flowed correctly. Check out the awesome end product we created....

What better way than to spend your PE lesson with Jordan and not only soak up the gorgeous sunshine, but test your basketball knowledge and consolidate your basketball skills?! Today we were lucky enough to get a bonus session with Jordan. We began by splitting into 3 teams and participating in a fun quiz testing our basketball general knowledge. Then we split into 4 teams and played a fun game against each other.
