Disco Dynamite!!!

On Thursday night we had our Retro Disco! It was a fantastic time and we danced the night away. The photos are a bit blurry but it doesn't matter because we had a great time.













Back to the Past!

The Junior Syndicate went on an adventure back in time. Our first place we went was founders park where we got to do a treasure hunt and find out many interesting things about living in the olden days. The dentist and doctors office was a wee bit spooky.














Our next adventure was heading to Bishop School. It was very interesting to see how school was in the past. We decided that we are happy we were not alive then because when they were naughty they got the cane!









Thank you for all of the parent help! It was a great experience and could not have been done with out your help :)

Crazy Cross Country!

On Friday afternoon we had whole school cross country! 



We all ran our fastest and tried our hardest. 


Although we were very tired it was not as hard as we thought it would be.

You might have noticed some unusual maths going on in Ruma Tahi recently.  We have been discussing reflections as part of our maths and we are exploring this through art.  We began by looking at 3 different types of reflection pictures.






Then we made a list of all the things that were in all 3 pictures. 

  • the bottom is darker than the top
  • the bottom reflection is upside down
  • there is a line between the ground and the water
  • the reflection is a different colour

We used this list to help us create our own beautiful reflective art. 





There will be more reflective art popping up around Ruma Tahi so feel free to ask us how we made it and how it shows reflection. 
Our end goal is to design and create a reflective picture to use as an invitation for our Grandparents day later in the term.
