Digital citizenship

We learnt about what it means to be a good digital citizen. A digital citizen is when you work on a digital device like a computer, or iPad. We found out that being a good digital citizen involves a lot of respect...just like being a good citizen at school, at home or in our community!

We joined the shake out drill along with the rest of the schools in NZ.

Stability and co-operation

We had a lot of fun today working together. We had to cooperate to balance together and then problem solve to get our whole team across the court without touching the court!! We only had 3 lino tiles to stand on! It took a lot of thinking. We co-operated really well because we were all working to achieve the same thing. Well done Matai hub. What great problem solvers.

Magnet exploration and discovery time!

What a fun time we had today using all the equipment in our new magnet kit.  We discovered so many things.  Check out our Padlet on the magnet page to see our emerging ideas and wonderings.

Earthquakes in Otago/Southland

Shake Out Day!

Watch this video and see how these children think earthquakes are made.  Do you think they are right?  What do you think? Write a comment or make your own blog post about how earthquakes are made.
