Week 6

 Greymouth Primary Schools Hockey Festival  

A group of Te Kinga students, along with Eli from Kōtuku went along to the Greymouth Hockey Festival. We ended up coming first equal in our pool with Paparoa Range - well done everyone! 

Year 8 Transition Day with Life Education

Last Friday our Year 8 students joined the other Midland Land Schools' for a transition to high school day. The students learnt how to read a timetable and heard some great advice from Senior Grey High students. They also spent time learning about change and choices with Kelly and Harold in the Life Education classroom. 

Learning, learning everywhere!

Learning happens in all sorts of ways in Te Kinga...

Kiwi Railway came back last week - this time for National Rail Safety Week - Paul and the Drivers crew taught us a lot about how we can be safe around trains in their presentation. 

Last week was Maths Week for schools across New Zealand. We joined in the fun by playing Maths Millionare everyday and doing some interesting 'hands-on maths' problems with the multi-link cubes. Maddy, Krystal, Leo, Zoe, Blake, Kaitlyn, Haize and Rosa all represented our school at the West-a-Maths competition on Wednesday 9th - having a great day with loads of mathematical challenges! 

We are learning the present tense sentence structure in our Te Reo Māori sessions at the moment.

How many drops of water will fit on a 20 cent coin? This was our science challenge for year 6 Technology...
