A sneak peak into the Intermediate Department....

.....today was such an exciting and engaging day!  We got a sneak preview into what learning would be like next year in the Intermediate department today.

Each of the Year 6 classes rotated around a variety of exciting activities with the Year 7/8 teachers.

Room 21 went to Mr Vella and Miss Albert first and created Jacob's Ladders (a cool wooden toy) as part of their introduction to Design & Technology. 

Then it was off to see Mr Gover where the children got a taste of Robotics and Minecraft Education (a real highlight).

After lunch they went to Food Technology with Mrs Buckley and Mrs Kimber and made pizza (yum!).

And what better way to finish the day than with Physical Education and Mrs Sowter.

The children are given a wide range of learning and leadership opportunities at MVS and it's fantastic that our Year 6 children can get a taste of what their learning will be like in the next couple of years.

A reminder that the Parents Open Evening is on this Thursday 31st May at 5.30pm in the Flexible Learning Space (FLS). This is a fantastic opportunities for parents and caregivers to see how our Intermediate department runs and the opportunities that the children of MVS receive in Year 7/8. 

If you are unable to make it to this meeting, please contact Mrs Bergin-Stuart at the office who will have an information booklet for you.

Check out these photos below of us having an amazing day!!!!!

Te Reo Maori and Art Collaboration

Image
As part of our Te Reo Maori this term, we will be looking at the traditional myths and legends from the Maori culture. We began with 'The Fish of Maui'. We thought it would be a great idea to work collaboratively to create a 'shared book' of this myth. These photos show us working together on the sketching of a scene from the story. When this is complete, we will vivid our sketches and use dye to add colour. We will then publish our section of the myth and display in the classroom. I can't wait to see the final product!

Maths Mapping Adventure

Image
This past week and a half we have been looking at maps. We have been learning about compass directions, scales and coordinates. The best part of our learning was putting all our new knowledge into creating our own magical land map. We had to think of a variety of 'lands' and place them accurately on our map. We then identified coordinates for those 'lands'. Each land was designated a certain amount of points. Our goal was to create a path and collect as many points as we could in a certain amount of moves. Once our map and path was completed we got to swap it with a buddy and challenge them to beat their score. These photos below show us working together on our maps.
