Literacy Rotation

In Rimu Hub we have been learning about

• Stan Walker
• Lorde
• Peter Jackson
• Dick Frizzel
• Parris Goebel
• Brooke Fraser
• Jamie Curry
• Johnny4Higher

The children were able to research about New Zealand artists and then chose which artist they wanted to learn about. 

Rosie Jones and Kiana Pohe have created a mashup of lyrics to Stan Walker's 'Little Black Box'.

Blogger of the Week: T3 #2

Camden is our very special Blogger of the Week. His post "The Great Super XV Supporter :)" is the most popular post in the history of Parkvale School blogging. At this moment, as I write these words, it now sits on 67 comments. Leave him another comment!

Camden loves sharing on his blog and is an enthusiastic commenter on other blogs. Camden received lots of comments after giving a supporters speech at assembly and then performing his beat boxing. Below is a short video with a great recording of Camden's beat boxing.

Matariki Workshops: Kite Making

Tomorrow is the Māori New Year, Matariki. This week, Nga Rakau Nui hubs have been attending fabulous Matariki workshops. On Friday, Rimu will be having our turn. Today some lucky students from Rimu Hub also got to attend workshops with Tōtara hub. These are workshops which are not available on Friday. A huge thank you to Mrs Hardaker who organised the workshops, and also to all the amazing adults from our Parkvale community who are running or contributing to the workshops.

Below are some of our students getting stuck into traditional kite making using harakeke. Tu meke!
