Jock. One day we discovered a very strange person in our room. Here is our story...

At the beginning of Term 3, we realized that the Middles and Seniors started to film their movies for the Manaiakalani Film Festival.  We really wanted to make our own movie but we didn’t have any ideas.

We kept thinking and thinking about our movie until... one day we discovered a very strange person in our room. 

Here is our story...

GTS Vision and Values: ACE and FIRE

We put our heads together to think about F.I.R.E and A.C.E. :) 
We had lots of fun and lots of thinking!

Behind the scenes.... or how we worked together to understand F.I.R.E. and A.C.E. better....and what do they mean to us. We also linked our school vision and values to our Class Treaty. 

 

It is OK to make mistakes because we LEARN from them!

Mistakes are powerful!

Please follow a link shared below to watch a video about our brain power. Remember that each of us is unique! Our mistakes help us get smarter!! Be confident to take a risk because you will definitely learn from it!

Our Class Treaty

Students have been working very thoughtfully to generate valuable ideas about how they want to live and learn in Room 5. After a number of very interesting and meaningful discussions in small groups, we put our ideas and expectations together, and everyone of us agreed to the Treaty.

It is a living document, just like the Treaty of Waitangi!

In Room 5, all students know what to expect. They also enjoy their learning better because they feel comfortable and confident in their learning environment.😃

Welcome back! Let's start our new learning journey!! All aboard!

Dear Students and Whanau,

Welcome back everyone and Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and that the children are all excited about coming back to school.

I hope that we will all enjoy a fantastic year full of fun and achievements!!
               
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Elena
