Year 7 and 8 Eel Experience.

Today we had an Eel Experience with Paul from the Auckland Council. He shared with us the conditions needed for eels to safely survive and thrive.

It was fascinating.

Inquiry - Rongomatane Roopu - I Wonder?

As part of our Literacy Investigation we have been developing wonderings around insects. We have been asking ourselves what do particular insects to do help us in our "Community" and environment. We have come across several new learnings............

The Duffy Show at Red Hill School.

Yesterday we were lucky enough to have the Duffy Team visit Red Hill School and share a story about the importance of learning to read. The team took us back in time to when World War Two occurred and this linked to the work that we have just completed about ANZAC Day and linking to our "Community as Home" Inquiry.

They were fantastic!

Learn, Create, Share connects to our High Ten Learning Qualities.

At Red Hill School we have High Ten Learning qualities that we strive to achieve each week. All of these qualities link to Learning, Creating and Sharing.

Here are my ideas.

Isitolo.

Learning, Creating and Sharing.

We have all been sharing our ideas about learning, creating and sharing. Some of us remember things better when there are visuals to support our brain to store the information. I need to have a combination of visuals and written words.

Learn, Create, Share.

The Rongomatane and Tane Mahuta Roopu are working together to show their understanding of what it is to Learn, Create and Share.

Each of us have created visual representations to share with others.

This one was completed by Alize.

The Brain - Temporal Lobe.

In Rongomatane we are learning all about the Brain. We are all working independently to complete a focused challenge about the brain. I chose the temporal lobe. Come and read all about what this part of the brain does.

The Brain - How does it work?

As part of the Rongomatane reading and inquiry challenge we are learning how the brain works. Today I have looked at the frontal lobe and what this part of the brain controls. This controls our ability to communicate and our personality.

Learning Languages Pepeha

The Year 8 students have been working on our Pepeha as part of our languages unit. My pepeha shares who I am and where I come from. I am proud of my whanau and where I come from.

Learning Languages - Pepeha.

The Year 8 students have been revisiting their Pepeha for the beginning of the term. It is important in our learning hub for students to be able to share who they are with others. We all acknowledge that we all come from different families however there are a lot of things that connect us too. Here is an example of a Pepeha completed by Mykkaisis who is one of our School Leaders.
