Blue Penguins presented by Luke, Axel, Jaimie and Gina

After Tiritiri Matangi the children researched a bird of their choice and decided to present their findings in the form of a poster.  The children then created a piece of persuasive writing, convincing people to visit Tiriri through the eyes of their bird.

North Island Robins presented by Sam, Joe, Lara and Jasmine

Room 5 children formed groups to put together a presentation on a bird of their choice from Tiritiri Matangi island.  I like how this group did a question and answer part to their poster.  Well done.

Wizard Writing

Over the last few weeks we have been trying out Wizard Writing to improve our fluency in writing.  This is where you write inspired from a photo.  One time Mrs Prescott showed us a story starter from a video and we had to continue the story.  A mother and daughter went into an antiques shop and whilst the mother was busy at the counter, the daughter, Elizabeth, explored the shop.   Elizabeth heard her name being called from a jewellery box and opened the box...  The video stops there.

Here are three stories that were selected by the children to share with the class.

Nick's Story


Claire's story - Do you get the twist at the end?


Maddison's Story

Saddleback presented by Alex-David, Maddison, Aodhan, Alice, Fisher and Rose

We researched information about the Saddleback and created a poster to show our findings.  We presented our poster to the class and then  practised our persuasive writing to convince everyone to come to Tiritiri through the eyes of the Saddleback.  We hope you enjoy!

Tiritiri Matangi School Trip

After bad weather preventing our class going to Tiritiri Matangi in the first week of school, the second week brought about the most amazing weather.  Enjoy the following photos.

The first photo is the blue penguin nesting boxes and then we followed the Wattle Track up to the lighthouse where we ate lunch and looked at the visitor centre, lighthouse etc.  Then we made our way down to where the ferry was to explore the beach before departing the island.
