Quality blog comments

Kauri 7 have been discussing how to make quality blog posts by being Positive, Thoughtful and Helpful.

Here are some examples of sentence starters that you can use when commenting on blogs!

S.T.E.A.M.

This term in Kauri hub, Kauri hub students have been learning about S.T.E.A.M. This means Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. 

Kauri hub completed a S.T.E.A.M. rotation where they completed challenges about how to use Spheros, a 3D Printer and a Makey Makey as well as how to create fastest ramp.  

In the hub, there were some white roses in different coloured water to see how the petals changed colour with the more water they drink. 

Today Mrs Thompson came in and showed the hub how to create batteries using lemons using the Makey Makey and positive and negative charges through different types of nails.

Relating to others

Kauri hub has been working hard to build as one very large team!

We finished Term 2 with a team building day where we got to know different students and the teachers through a variety of games and activities.



This term we have been learning with different teachers and our ako whanau "learning family" groups. Students are worked hard to learn and relate to different students than they would normally pick to learn with. The teachers are very proud of the students!

Learn Create Share

On Friday 31st of August, the students of Kauri hub had the opportunity to create and decide their own learning for the day.

Their only instructions were to

• research their chosen topic
• create a slide presentation, report, poster or video about their chosen topic
• share their learning to others in the hub

Here are some of the examples of what was created. We hope you enjoy!
