Big Foot Adventures!



On Wednesday the 27th March Big Foot Adventures came to Meadowbank School and worked with the Year 4 cohort, completing a range of team building activities. 

This challenged the children to work together and problem solve and work as a team. 

The kids were required to demonstrate the Key Competencies: 
  • Thinking
  • Relating to Others
  • Managing self
  • Participating and Contributing
  • Using Symbols, language and Text
Over the last weeks of the term we are going to be constructing our own team building activities and the children will be hosting an event where they will teach the families. 
More information is to come. 


Check out some of the photos from yesterday!

Year 4 Trio Art

As part of our Whanaungatanga unit, we have been getting to know the teachers in Rooms 29, 30 and 31. We have all spent one afternoon with each of the teachers producing different artwork.

In Room 29 to celebrate Sea Week, we created pictures of sea animals using crayon and dye.

In Room 30 we learnt to draw Samon Siapo Patterns.

In Room 31 we created a picture out of words to show all the things that we love. We used the online website Tagul to create this.

Take a look at the pictures to see our final pieces. We are looking forward to working in our Trio team and moving around classrooms to work with different students and teachers.
