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.

Rimu MLE Song

For home learning, Liske chose to write and record a song. She wrote it about Rimu Hub. We were proud of her effort and with her permission are sharing it on the blog.


I have published it with some recent photos of students learning in the hub. We definitely have fun learning together in Rimu Hub!

Liske has created her own post about the song. Check it out and leave her a comment!

Fun Run 2015

We have been training hard for the "Fun Run" in Rimu Hub and we're very proud of our results. Just look at that results table! 

Taylor couldn't run, so he took photos and created this video on the iPad. Visit his blog and leave him a comment. I think he did a creative job which captured the efforts of many students.

Back in the hub, we reflected on the efforts of ourselves and others. It was wonderful to hear how well our students recognize the PRIDE in others. Here is a video of Hannah interviewing Liske about the Fun Run.




Kiana wanted to write a Moment in Time about her race and share it on her blog. She captured her race in vivid detail. Read about it here and leave a comment!

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!

Rimu Hub Day @ Omatua!

The sun shines on Cyclones!

Last Thursday, Rimu Hub all joined together at Camp Omatua for a fun-filled hub activity day. The students were all in groups and had created their own log for their group. I got to run the Amazing Race and I was so proud of the teamwork, thinking and support for each other shown by each group. We are lucky to have students that show so much PRIDE in Rimu Hub and our hub day was a special day to be a part of.

Keeping Safe Online

Miss Plimmer found this entertaining and informative video that teaches us about being safe. It also stars two animals from one of our favourite movies! What did you learn from this video?
