Wow, term 3 was fantastic! We visited local streams and the zoo to learn about the importance of caring for New Zealand endemic species and their environments.
We investigated, reported and presented our findings about an animal of our choice. We enjoyed the Year 4-6 production. And we celebrated achievements and farewelled our principal, Wendy Sandifer.
Term 4 has had a smooth start beginning with conservation week, healthy eating and a focus on reading and maths.

Sharing our inquiries about native animals with our team and on Seesaw.
Our inquiry learning process was very successful and children learnt a lot about planning, questioning, researching and investigating and presenting their finished work. Well done Year 3 and many thanks to all those parents who responded on Seesaw.
