Room 5 High Ropes Adventure

Room 5 had another awesome adventure with Mr Beach and the Kuranui Outdoor Education Academy at Patuna Farm today. Students were challenged to a variety of high "12m+" courses. Room 5 shone with their individual and teamwork skills. A huge thanks to Pauline, Keiko and Harriet for their help today and a special SHOUT OUT to Mrs Surynt-Tapiki for being the adult representative on the course!!! As you can see by the photos we experienced four seasons in one day, so apologies for some of the dark photos!

Maori Language Week

Kia Ora Koutou nga whanau o Ruma Rima!
Room 5 have celebrated Maori Language Week by creating this video, showing our learning with basic questioning.  As you can see, we are still working on our correct pronunciation, however, the students had a very positive attitude to the task - tino pai Ruma Rima!

Think Right, Dream Big!

Think Right, Dream Big! was a pilot programme, implemented by Tiran O'Hagan from Wairarapa District Health Board, to fulfill the need for a programme for our Senior Boys.  The programme was based around the LEADER acronym:
L for leadership
E for equipper
A for attitude
D for dreamer
E for excellence
R for relationships

The boys graduated at a recent assembly, and the photo below shows them with Tiran.

To show their thanks to Tiran, the boys shared a spine tingling haka, a great example of the leaders that they are developing into.  Apologies though, as the memory card filled up half way through! :(

Dance 4 Asthma

The girls in Room 5 are real groovers! and I have been looking out for opportunities for them to show their skills.
The Dance 4 Asthma competition was a great opportunity for the girls.  They had to create a dance to the Moorhouse song "Mama Said".
Congratulations to Jacob, Trystan, Henry and Josh who signed up for the final performance.

Young Leaders Day Presentation

Back in the class room, the Year 8's were set the task of creating a presentation to show things that they had enjoyed and learnt at Young Leaders Day.  This was presented to the Board of Trustees this week.
