Inquiry - The Wesley Rebuild

For Inquiry this term, students in Room 5 have been learning all about the rebuild that will happen for Wesley Intermediate in the next couple of years. Students have been learning the process involved in the rebuilding of the school and are now involved in this process. Students have selected an area of the school that will be rebuilt such as the playground or the robotics room. Students are in the process of planning their area - what other schools have, what equipment they want, where to get it from, how much it will cost.

Here is some awesome work so far from Payton, Katana, Sina, and Sydney. They have chosen to rebuild the Playground and Tennis Court.

More to come so keep posted...

Google Meeting - Thursday 4th March

Kia ora guys,

Today we had a really cool Google Meet session with Room 5 students. Thanks to all of those students who joined in and stayed around afterwards to play a few rounds of Among Us. It is great to see so many of you online and that you are doing well during lockdown. 

During our call today we had a look at Mark's awesome blog posts, Sina's PB4L poster and then how to create a quality blog post. Hopefully this has given you some ideas for creating your own blog posts. We also had a Kahoot about current events happening in NZ and had a fun Te Reo quiz about greetings and feelings. Lastly, we finished off with a game of Among Us. It was really cool to see you guys having fun together.

All in all, there were heaps of house points were given out! Thanks to all the staff who joined us as well.

Stay safe!

Mr Edwards.

Good luck for the year girls and make sure you lead your houses well.
