On Monday Ruapotaka met some Visitors from ERO ( Education Review Office) the man's name was Richard and the woman's name was Pam.

We first welcomed them in to our school with a fantastic greeting, then they introduced them self to us and then Sosiua told Mrs Hamilton to stand up so that she could tell us that they will be here till Thursday.

When we were done Jessica told the ERO people that they could leave while all the classes sang a song for them, after they went Jessica told the classes to go back to their class room to do some more learning.  

What We're Learning In Extension Group? by Ana

Last Thursday our extension group was learning about the history of juggling. We had a bunch of activities involving juggling, we even got to juggle some balls. One of the activities was to write a legend about how juggling started.

Another activity we had to do was writing facts about juggling from online in to our google document. I had to share with my friend Kotipi because I didn't have a chromebook, which meant I only had to do 3 facts, while she did 4. While I was doing my work, I was learning how to do a rubik's cube.

I only got to do one side before I gave up. I felt so excited I had a chance to even try. Extension is going well with our juggling topic at the moment.

Our Art Learning -By Joanlisi

On Thursday we had to split into two groups whether we go to an art lesson or library and I was in group 2 with others.

After interval group 1 had to go in room seven to do art, but group 2 had to be at the library to do some quiet reading and play chess, we did that for a while and then group 1 finished. We had to stop what we were doing and switch rooms. Group 2 had to go to room seven for our art learning lesson, we marched to room seven and finally we arrived. 

We all met Mrs Lonsdale -  Cooper, if it was hard to pronounce her name then you could call her Mrs L- C. She told us to grab two colours of  jovi modelling clay for art, there was only the colours of brown, red, orange, green, white, grey, black and yellow, it was some boring colours but anyways I chose green and white and the others they chose red, orange, yellow, black and green. She read a book of different drawing's and more but at the same time she said we could play with our jovi modelling clay to make it soft. After a long time around, I made a flower bracelet and Mrs Golder came around and took a picture of my master piece.
