Week 5 Term 4

Kia ora Whanau


Maths Learning - Statistics

This week we have been looking at the Schoolgen website that was set up to monitor how much power we generate with the solar panels above Mānuka and Pōhutukawa. We have been learning to understand bar graphs, notice trends and make predictions using the data on the website.


There is a definite dip in the winter months

Dennis and Tom come up with some predictions for November

We have saved 900kg of CO2 - that's the same weight as 2 polar bears..

...or 10 Dan Carters!


Arty Smarties

We got to work on making a printing block today. This involved cardboard, string and a whole mess of glue! Watch this space to see these art works evolve..




Cultural Festival @ Mt Cook School

It was good fun to be involved in the annual Cultural Festival for the town schools. The middle group Kapa Haka did their best performance to date. Thanks so much to Hemi and Whaea Liz for their support and encouragement.
Ka mau te wehi!






Star Student

Our Star this week is the very deserving Ted! Ted is a compassionate and caring member of Nīkau. Sporty, friendly, helpful and someone who doesn't give up easily - Ted was nominated by many of his peers.
