Grandparents Day 2018

Last Friday we had our Grandparents afternoon and this is the one photo we took of our Jump Jam group that performed for our Grandparents.
They did an outstanding job.
Grandparents Afternoon is a day where all the students invite their grandparents to watch children perform, and enjoy their selves, the performances included Pasifika ( Pasifika is a group that performs Pasific dances while representing their culture., Jump Jam- the picture above ( is a fun groovy dance group that performs fun dances to entertain us, Music Group ( A group that performs songs very well, using Ukuleles, tambourines, drums, and their singing voices. And our Kapa Haka Group( performing Maori dances and haka's)
 There was also afternoon tea for our grandparents to enjoy with homemade food from our students and families ( they were delicious) I'm sure the Grandparents loved them

We all enjoyed having our Grandparents visit our School,

Makey Makey STEAM

In The Kahikatea Hub, we have been working hard every Monday and Friday afternoon making different things for STEAM(Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) IN the afternoons when we do STEAM, we make different things that contain conductive materials. Conductive materials are materials that will produce electricity, we also use a website called Scratch.
Some of the things we have made have been Instruments, Controllers and an alarm system.
We use alligator clips and a Makey Makey Kit

The Variety Show was very fun for all the students, we got lots of positive feedback. Adults enjoyed the show as well as children. We raises a lot of money to pay for EOTC.

Our Variety Concert was a success and most of the parents and families enjoyed seeing their students on stage performing a show they had put together. We raised around $6,000 and that was enough to pay off our bus ride for our end of the year.

Getting ready for our Variety Show

The students at PCS have been working hard for the Variety Show that will be held in Week 9. Shaye was our winner for creating the best Admission Ticket. On the Top left hand corner are some of our dancers. The top right hand corner are our singers. Bottom left are the #JJSquad short for Jump Jam.  We are looking forward to performing infront of the community.

Sign Problem

This video was created and filmed by Isla, Ava, Kate, and Reagan from Room 5 Kahikatea Hub,

They thought of a word problem to sign count in.
Their favorite part was learning how to sign it. 

Anzac Puzzles

This is a Learn Create Share that Bella, Lara and Seane worked on.
The purpose was to create a puzzle for the juniors to play with.
The theme was ANZAC, because it had been ANZAC day recently.
