35 Staff (7 from Wakari) had an excellent time last week looking in depth into Project Based Learning.

The Senior Tramping group have been having lots of fun checking out local walks, as well as picking up some tips for being safe in the bush. We really appreciated having help from Paula, Alyce, Amy and Connor during the term.

Over the last couple of weeks Room 16's writers have been inspired to write stories about interesting pictures, blowing bubbles and sharing special news and events from home or from their own imaginations! We have been using 'ing' verbs, 'and', 'but', 'because', adjectives and trying out contractions in our writing! Here are some of our favourite pieces that we have written and want to share with you all. Enjoy!

The creative learners at Wakari School have been busy preparing amazingly artistic Easter baskets for the annual Wakari School Easter Egg Hunt!

This week, as the culmination of the Junior Syndicate's Term 1 topic inquiry into Healthy Snacks, the two Junior Hubs set up a Healthy Snack Shop for the rest of the school. We collected data and then on the day each child had a job to help prepare and sell our snacks. We sold delicious fruit kebabs and popcorn to all the students for 10 cents each - both of which sold out very quickly! It was a huge success!

Industrial Action looks set to continue.

On the 15th of March a group of keen rugby league players headed off to an Otago Rugby League Carnival.
