Kids Can Ride
As part of being a 'Travel Safe' school, Thursday 13th August hosted an opportunity for Room 1 students to be involved in the ‘Kids Can Ride’ programme. Our learners moved around a rotation of activities that promoted the benefits of cycling and supported improved safety while on their bikes.
Maths Week: 10th - 14th August 2020
Maths Week is a mathematics event that Whakamarama School calendars annually. The people and organisations behind maths' week provide a vast array of resources which our students engage with across the week. The most favourite being 'The Daily Dollar'.
Across the week our students earned dollar rewards for their problem solving efforts and the week ended with a high energy auction where every child walked away with a small acknowledgement of their success. We are so lucky to have a team of teachers and parents who support our children in becoming confident and creative mathematicians.

Science Roadshow
A visit to the Science Roadshow is a fun, exciting and interactive learning experience of science for children.
Whakamarama School’s visit on Thursday 6th August included live shows and hands-on exhibits that broadened our students' knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The visit strongly supported the Nature of Science strand of the New Zealand Curriculum and the Five Foundational Science Capabilities.
