Itiiti rearea, teitei kahikatea ka taea
Although the rearea is small it can ascend the lofty heights of the Kahikatea tree

Week 4, Term 4 already!  It’s been another busy start to the term.  Although we are ready as a school to move to online learning if needed, we acknowledge our ability to come to school with gratitude and pray for our whanau and friends living under different alert levels in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Sphero Bolts

Adding to our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) resources, last term the Board approved the purchase of 15 Sphero BOLTs to complement our digital learning journey. A Sphero bolt is a coding robot that lets kids learn coding through hands-on play. Students can try programming the BOLT to do many different things. To start, there's programming it to move, programming its LED lights, programming its sounds, and mixing in loops to run programs for longer periods of time.
