Hello

Week One

BRANDING

One of the first challenge for our class was to establish a brand name that we will use to identify our room for 2016.

After strenuous discussions, brainstorms and research, our name was decided by vote

It came down to three finalists - Soaring Dragons, Soaring Albatrosses and Techno Ninjas

Soaring Dragons - Soaring is from our school motto. Dragons are mythical creatures who are very strong, powerful, and can also fly

Soaring Albatrosses - Soaring from the school motto. Albatross is a magnificent bird which is also native to NZ

Techno Ninjas - Techno comes from the word Technology as our students want to learn how to effectively use Technology tools. Ninjas - come through popularity from the Vodafone Ninjas and students wants to be technologically advanced.

With an overwhelming majority of votes 

'Techno Ninjas'

became our brand name with a long term goal of students becoming Technology Savvy

Students were also involved in selecting the pictures for our logo. 

So here's our final product

Three students also collaborated to create a chant for our class

Ayva, Sophie and Ofa

PRIDE TRAIL

We visited the PRIDE trail representing the Values of our school.

As a class we discussed the importance and meaning of each Value.

We will happily take you around the trail if you come to visit
