Poetry in Kauri

Every Tuesday Kauri explores a poem. This week it was Emma Hackett's Newsbook. An amusing wee poem about what can go wrong sometimes at home. We discussed what 'getting really mad' means, why do people quarrel, why the poem was called 'Emma Hackett's Newsbook (and we had a lot of great ideas) and what the whether we thought this poem really happened.

Some of us were happy to be filmed so we hope you enjoy these.


Videos in progress

Snow Day 2013

Wow - what an amazing day we have had up at Mt. Hutt. A beautiful sunny day (once the wind disappeared) and a lot of fun and frivolity was had by all. Here are some photos that we managed to grab between learning how to ski and skiing the slopes! Enjoy :)

The Wool Process - our assessments

In the first week of the term we had some fun doing some science and assessing our learning of the wool process. Each group was able to choose how they presented what they learnt. Some made posters, some made puppet shows and some made videos. Here are some of our work.
