Toby is one of our new students. This is his tent creation he was challenged to make in Geometry, using only toothpicks and modelling clay. It was a very sturdy, strong structure. 
Two other students are Faith and JD. They both enjoyed this thinking activity and came up with
some excellent shapes.
Abigail and Ayva and our final two new students. They have created 'All about Me' poster to include in their learning steps slideshows, which include all their goals and practise work around their goals. For students brand new to chromebooks, our Year 4's are picking up the necessary skills very quickly. 
They have all settled in really well and have been very patient with all the changes. Lucky for Te Waka Ako we have extremely helpful Year 5 and 6 students who love to help teach them how to use their chromebooks, and the way we work in our new space.
Malo e lelei, we are Room 6 from Wesley Primary School. We really liked reading about the new students in your class. The All About Me posters were terrific! We remember when we created tents using toothpicks and bluetack, but we noticed that you used modelling clay. Have you thought about making really big tents using pencils and cellotape? We think that would be a great way to build a strong structure.
