Welcome to room 5

Kia Ora Whānau,

My name is Mrs Maharaj and I have the honour of sharing the teaching for Room 5 again, this year alongside Whaea Sarah. We are really looking forward to welcoming all tamariki and our Te Matauranga whānau into our classroom on Tuesday as we begin our 2024 learning journey together.

Tuakana teina ~ we are stronger together.

Kia Ora e te Whānau,

I am excited to be co-teaching the wonderful Room 5 this year with Mrs Maharaj.
We are lucky to have some very amazing little tamaiti in Room 5 and cannot wait for the wonderful year of learning ahead. Feel free to email us at any time and we look forward to working in partnership with you - the whānau.

This year our focus is MORE THAN… We have to take time to see each other for who we are …

Term 3 2024

Our topic this term is “EUREKA!” - Creating / Discovering new things. We are doing lots of Science and learning new words like “predict” and “hypothesis.” We are having so much fun doing Science experiments and filling our amazing brains with lots of new learning.

We started Term 3 by finishing off all our amazing Lego Explore projects. We had our FLL expo in Week 3. We learnt about Innovation, Inclusion, Teamwork, we discovered new skills and had so much fun. Thank you to our whānau that came along. We loved sharing our learning with everyone.

Term 2 2024

We have been working really hard to get ready for our Explore Expo in Week 10. We have been learning about the FLL values like Team work, Discovery and Fun! Each of our teams have been creating a Master Piece that shows our hobbies. We have just started to learn coding and getting different parts of our piece to move. So much learning and so much fun being had in Room 5.
