The big idea is life at Maeroa.




‘Replay’ rewritten

Room 4 has the cornerstones to guide them
In their learning and
With the virtues, at
Maeroa intermediate
My whole mind gets stuck on the game (2x)

We improve on our learning by setting goals in the class
We’re D.L.U. students,
We go the extra mile
Thinking as much as we can

We think outside the square
We’re positive citizens
We discuss our learning in our groups
We use language, symbols and text

We’re good at being organised learners
We’re effective communicators
We’re love being critical explorers
We relate to others

Room 4 has the cornerstones to guide them
In their learning and
With the virtues, at
Maeroa intermediate
My mind gets stuck on the game (2x)

We’re don’t mind when we make mistakes
Cause we learn from them and move on
We move with the cheese
We participate and contribute

We use key competencies
We know how to manage ourselves
We pair assess our writing in our groups
We have high expectations

We’re good at being organised learners
We’re effective communicators
We love being critical explorers
We relate to others

Room 4 has the cornerstones to guide them
In their learning and
With the virtues, at
Maeroa intermediate
My mind gets stuck on the game (2x)

We’re learning French in class
The teacher’s learnt it in the past
We go to tech 2 times a week
We have lots of fun end of story
We’re learning French in class
The teacher’s learnt it in the past
We go to tech 2 times a week
We have lots of fun end of story

So fun so fun so fun so fun so fun so fun so fun
That is what I call it
Fun so fun so fun so fun so fun o fun so fun
That is what I call it

Room 4 has the cornerstones to guide them
In their learning and
With the virtues, at
Maeroa intermediate
My mind gets stuck on the game (2x)

Corban's Homework, COPE song

Wearing blue through and through to the extent,
Life is short so live it to the fullest.
Hey, hey I made a mistake,
But I have learned that it’s okay, okay-ay-ay-ay. (x2)

I remember my first day there,
I didn’t know what to do.
Then I figured out what we are about;
No one’s too cool for school,

Thinking more than I ever do,
Doing my homework every night.
Information that I never knew,
Learning how to live my life.

Being, a positive citizen,
Communicating effectively,
Being, a critical explorer,
Learn to do and learn to be.

Wearing blue through and through to the extent,
Life is short so live it to the fullest.
Hey, hey I made a mistake,
But I have learned that it’s okay, okay-ay-ay-ay. (x2)

In our class we are learning French,
Maybe even Maori soon,
Dutch and Spanish,
Learning lots of languages
The tongues of the world.
Using strategies I never do
Staying organised all the time.

Information that I never knew,
Learning how to live my life.

Being, a positive citizen,
Communicating effectively,
Being, a critical explorer,
Learn to do and learn to be.

Wearing blue through and through to the extent,
Life is short so live it to the fullest.
Hey, hey I made a mistake,
But I have learned that it’s okay, okay-ay-ay-ay. (x2)
