Squawk Squad Kaitiakitanga Week

We won!!!

Each week for Squawk Squad we send in a video of our students completing the activities set for us by Squawk Squad.  Every week they choose winners, who have shown high enthusiasm for their learning and sharing their learning with others.

This week, we sent through our class assembly on Squawk Squad and won a months supply of Pic's Peanut Butter for our class.

How exciting!

Thank you Squawk Squad!

Squawk Squad Assembly

Over the past 6 weeks in Squawk Squad, we have learnt some many new things, which we wanted to share with our whanau in the form of a class assembly.

The students chose topics, which were part of Squawk Squad - Predator Free, Native Birds, NZ Bird of Prey, Whio, Kauri Dieback, Marine Conservation and Kaitiakitanga.  Once the students chose which topic they want to focus on, they wrote their own script and decided on how this may look in our assembly.

The students did extremely well to write their own parts, and to decide for themselves how they were going to present their information.

Have a look at our amazing assembly.  (Please excuse the video editing. I have recorded our practice assembly and the real assembly, and tried to mash the two together to get the best out of both.)
 

Squawk Squad Week 5: Marine Week

This week we have been learning all about our Marine Environment and how bad plastics are for them. In an effort to help our marine environment, each student from Te Kauru had to collect at least 1 piece of plastic each day.  They had to find this out in their surrounding environment, either on the road, in town, or around the school.



The students together decided the shape they would like their sculpture to form. Our class decided to make a seal.  Bailey and Manaia were in charge or drawing the seal, while Aria helped Whaea Sharlz wash all the plastics.

Once everything was reading, everyone had a turn at glueing their plastics onto our seal.  Doesn't it look absolutely amazing? This is how much plastics we have saved from entering our oceans this week alone!



Do you think you can help us save our oceans?
