Our latest creations

The New Zealand Fairy Tern is the rarest endemic breeding bird in Aotearoa. Room 14 has been working on art work with a message to help protect them. Last week they donated them to Heather a representative from the Fairy Tern Charitable Trust. We hope they make a difference by showing people what they can do to look after these special birds.

 
They also left us these beautiful chocolates in appreciation of our work for their cause.
 
 
 
 
Room 7 want to draw attention to the fact that Technology Addiction is dominating the lives of young people. Their mural shows the contrast between two sides of the brain with and without technology. They also held a technology free week, where students gave up certain items of technology for a week.
 

 
 
Continuing on the topic of Technology Addiction, Room 8 capture their target audience with a sneaky strategy, by luring them in with a gaint TV screen. Upon closer inspection, potential technology addicts will be able to see how video game addiction could affect them mentally, physically, emotionally and socially.

 
 
 
Room 17 want to encourage young children to make healthy food choices, so they designed a food race, with characters such as Brocolli aka Lean Mean Running Machine taking out lead of the pack. they aim to educate others about healthy eating.

Bush tucker

What kind of food could we take on camp to cook up in the bush? Something to keep us cosy on a damp night in a tent?

Navigating the globe and promoting water safety through music


Jorja, Tiara, Aaliyah, Kendyl, Naashia, Ajay and Aven from Room 17 have been learning their instruments since Week 5. They plan to create a musical composition with a focus linked to teach people how to use navigation tools such as maps and a compass. We were learning about the texture of music last week, and we had a fun time creating our own percussion music using suggested formations during Week 6.    


William, Violet, Priyanka, Samantha, Jorale, Rayleina, Luke, Lorraine, Liam, Ezekiel and Jasmine from Room 14 have started learning instruments on Tuesday. Their goal is to create a musical composition that encourages people wear life jackets while being involved in water activities. We had a great time learning simple rhythm notations this week that are going to be useful for making music.
