PET-DAY CANCELLATION :(

What a shame the Pet-Day was called off :(

The 3D sculpture Art work that was on display in the library was absolutely amazing! Well done and congratulations to all those who won certificates for their work.







Have a great long-weekend.

Inquiry topic study. What's it all about?

Inquiry this Term

" Making our community a better place, with a focus on SUSTAINABILITY"

The students at Tokanui have been looking to develop a wasted space of the school grounds.
Room Wha and Rima are working together on the huge task of brainstorming all our ideas about how an area could be developed and for what kinds of activities the developed area could be used for.

There have been heaps of ideas from large flat areas of grass for outdoor assemblies, to tunnel houses for growing veggies and planting lots of native trees and plants that might encourage animals, large and small to thrive in great new habitats.

There is a lot of interesting ways to explore what this topic of investigation could help us to discover and learn about conservation and sustainability.
We have visitors coming to give us advice, and heaps of sites we can look at for information and ideas.

Welcome back everyone at Tokanui School! What an amazingly sunny, hot day for our first day back!

A big welcome to a new student in Room Wha this term. Zakaia lives on a dairy farm in Otara and has already seemed to fit straight in to our class after his first day!
