The Powerful Pikachu are coming at you in 2015!

Welcome back to the wonderful members of team Powerful Pikachu in room 20 at Rowandale School.

Kia Ora, My name is Janelle Longstaff and I have the privilege of leading the Powerful Pikachu in 2015.

I am very excited to share our learning journeys this year and have enjoyed the positive start to the year in week 1 of the term.

Check out our blog as we keep you posted on our busy learning term =)


It has been a very busy start to the term with team Pikachu. We needed to create our name, class treaty and begin some branding art (photos to come in week 2).

Check out our awesome class treaty!


We read the book 'The Tree Hut Treaty' written by Wiremu Grace. Together we discussed why it was important to have a class treaty and what things we needed to agree to have in our class treaty. Team Powerful Pikachu came up with some awesome ideas for our treaty and I look forward to the discussions to come about how we can use our treaty daily in class.
