Science!
On Thursday we had Science in a van come to visit us and teach us about states of matter. It was a fantastic show with lots of interesting information! This was a great lead up to our Science unit for this term which is Acids and Bases. We will be doing lots of learning around science over the next few weeks followed by our own inquiries and a science fair... watch this space!

Swimming Sports Fun!
On Friday 8th February, Hinau and Totara made their way down to the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre to take part in the KNS annual Swimming Sports.
There was a lot of participation, many close races and lots of people being brave! It was awesome to hear and see the great sportsmanship being shown both in and out of the pool.
Congratulations to all of our students who got involved, we are proud of you all!

2019 Begins!
Welcome to 2019!
We have had a great first week in Tōtara with getting to know each other, learning the routines and our first session at Kaiapoi Borough School for technology. We held a meet the teacher evening for parents to come along and hear about how things work in Tōtara.
The children in both hubs have been working on"All About Me" activities.
In Tiwai West (Rooms 18,19 and 20) we have been doing some self portrait art to brighten up our walls and writing to our teachers about things we would like them to know about us.
At Technology we were put into 4 groups - Food, Hard materials, Textiles and Multi Materials. We will spend one term in each area creating and learning.
Week one has also seen the introduction of our new school wide 'Ruataniwha Rewards'. These are given out to children who are achieving our weekly goal or showing one of our school values. In Tōtara these can be traded in for prizes and each token also goes towards house points for the school.
Check out the photos below to see some of the cool things we have been doing at Technology!

Bike Safety
This week, we worked with Constable Ken on learning some essentials for keeping safe on our bikes.
Unfortunately, the weather has been very up and down and not all groups were able to jump on their bikes and get outside.
We did however, all learn about safely fitting our helmets, road rules and laws, and how to check our bikes before riding them.
