What does 'good' group work in Maths look like?

In Maths this week we had fun finding out what 'good' group work looked like. In groups of four, we had to figure out what we needed to do to make sure everyone took part to complete a task successfully. Check out the photos and comments below:

WHAT DOES 'GOOD' GROUP WORK LOOK LIKE?

Helping them if they don't know 

Team work 

Don't give up if it's hard

Take turns

Listen to what they are saying

Give things a go

Kia Ora! Talofa Lava! Malo e Leilei! Mingalaba! Greetings from Room 2!

To introduce ourselves and make our room look brighter and more colourful, we each made our first piece of art the year. We had to include our name,  a greeting in a language that meant something to us, and a fun fact about ourselves. 

TEST YOURSELF! 
Do you know what language these greeting comes from?
Write in the comments below and we'll let you know if you got them right!

Here are some close ups from David, Angel, Aneelis and Sheales.

Karakia, Mihi - Sabrina shows us how!

Team 5 starts every school day with an assembly for all Year 7 & Year 8 students and teachers. Each class takes turns to run the assembly. Two students lead the mihi and karakia and the homeroom teacher delivers the notices.

Every Wednesday, students from Room 2 take their turn.

Do you need to practice?

Well, Sabrina, a Year 8 student/prefect from Room 2,  has recorded the karakia and mihi to help you out! She hasd done an awesome job - Ka mau te wehi Sabrina!
