Term 3

Robocup Challenge Nationals - St Kentigerns School, Pakuranga

In September, a team of 4 from Room 13 participated in the Theatre section of the Robocup Challenge. The members were Kason Wihongi, Sam Komisi, James Sim and Gabrielle Matthews and their team name was “The Engineers”. They created four robots that would dance. There were a lot of weeks of trial and error and redesigning. The team worked very well together, each taking on a robot each from the ground up. They also had to create costumes for each robot that suited our theme, ‘Aotearoa’. On the day, the children worked tirelessly and collaboratively. They represented themselves and Te Matauranga School with pride.

Whitewater Rafting

We were lucky enough to go to Vector Wero in Manukau to do whitewater rafting. The children really enjoyed themselves and learnt a lot about safety in the water, wearing the correct safety clothes, what to do if they fall into the water and working together. What a fantastic opportunity for our children!

Photo Gallery- Term 2

During this term each child had to take photos of our environment. The photos taken, demonstrated their ability to closely examine an object and hi-lighted their creativeness.

We hope you enjoy some of the stunning photographs that were taken.

Can Drive

Our teacher had read an article how cans of food were needed at the Auckland City Mission. We decided to hold a Can Drive.

Every morning James Sim and Mayuri Tuimaseve would collect the cans given, count them and then put them away in the office. Sam Komisi and Kason Wihongi were in charge of finding boxes and packing the cans in there ready for delivery. To get the cans to Mrs Komene-Cooke’s car we needed the muscles of Kason, Sam and Arcaedian Chu-Kau. Our teacher drove our donation to the Auckland City Mission in Auckland City.

Thank you very much to all those children and families who donated the cans for our drive. We also held a competition of the most cans given by any class and this was won by Room 20. Congratulations Room 20.
