What the Kaupeka hub is about

In Kaupeka hub, there are 66 students. There are 3 main rooms in our hub and we also have a silent room called the breakout space.
 For literacy, we get to choose what writing pieces we want to write about.
We use Chromebooks in Kaupeka so we can do most of our work on them.
This is what our timetable normally looks like: In the morning, we do RE and a bit after that, we start doing maths. At 10:25 am, we go out for play and at 10:50 am, we eat our morning tea. Then we do literacy and at 12:25, we go out for play again. We eat lunch outside and then we do stuff like languages and after that we do fitness. At the end of the day, we all go home. PBL is project based learning.
One of my favourite PBL's was a science project. The science project was to see which rock candy crystals would grow the most in water or in water with sugar melted in it.
 By the time you go to high school, you should know all your times tables and know how to spell/read everyday words.
My favourite learning area in our hub is the breakout space because if you want to work without getting distracted, you can go in the breakout space and work silently.
My proudest moment of the year was when I finished the cross country course and when I built a dam in the river so we can get clean water at camp.

What are some similarities and differences about your classroom/hub/school?
