Vector talk Sustainability...

As well as learning lots of important facts, we also got to play with solar powered helicopters and cars and see who could generate the most power by spinning a turbine!

Batter up!

In Term 3 we're lucky enough to have Coach Marco come in and teach us some kiwiball skills. Can anyone guess what happened after this awesome hit by Simativa?

Literacy Festival

To end our week long Literacy Festival, we had a superb assembly where Takahe, Hoiho and Kea all shared the work they had done. Parents also joined us in the morning to see the awesome displays in the hall that were based on the authors that different classes chose to study.

Poetry Slam!

In our first ever Room 3 poetry slam Rishi took out the title (he also went on to win the Kea poetry slam). We had an awesome morning picked songs to pump ourselves up, making prizes for respectful audience members and then performing (or should I say slamming) our poems.
