An absolutely awesome day at MOTAT.  Our students had a wonderful experience.  He mihi miharo ki a koe matua Dudley mo to tautoko me to awhi ki a matou taitamariki.  

Our Learning

The transition into year 5 brings with it a significant step up in terms of the demand for students to use their reading as an interactive tool for learning. Most of the texts that students are now required to read are instructional materials. Students read in order to locate, evaluate, and integrate information and ideas within and across a small range of texts as they generate and answer questions to meet specific learning purposes. Students continue to develop their accuracy and fluency as readers of a variety of texts. They increase their level of control and independence in selecting strategies for using texts to support their learning. By the end of year 6, students are required to read longer texts more quickly and to select appropriate strategies for different reading purposes

Welcome to Room 9 2014 Blog. 

We have an eclectic cohort of students from diverse ethnic heritage.  Although, all students were born in Aotearoa/New Zealand we all have proud cultural links with various locations around the globe.  From the beautiful Island of Tonga, to the majestic Islands of Samoa, Niue, Rarotonga, Fiji and across the blue ocean to the Kingdom of Cambodia in Southeast Asia through to representation of tangata whenua from Aotearoa. 

Our goal for 2014 is to learn as much as practicable about learning and in doing so we have fun.  Building respect, trust and self-belief on our learning journey we will develop a learning environment that both challenges and supports each and every one of us so that we can achieve our potential in the classroom, on the sports field, and on the musical, maths, spelling, speech and debating stages. 

We welcome all positive communications from across the globe and also within our beautiful country of Aotearoa/New Zealand.  Room 9 is a Year 5 & 6 mixed gender classroom.
