So far this week...

Having had an amazing camp experience the students have been back in the class for 2 days and so far they have:

1. Researched more information about 3 explorers that all "discovered" NZ; Kupe, Abel Tasman and Captain Cook.
2. Pretended to be a crew member on board one of the explorers boats/waka and written a letter to loved ones back home.
3. Explored what it means to be a New Zealander.
4. Started streamed Maths classes.
5. Replied to another students letter to a loved one.
6. And finally waded into the "NZ flag debate" by reading the following links and then designed our own flag to represent our country. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_flag_debate, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11193964)
