Now We Are Six.

October has been a busy month for birthdays in Room 16.  These four boys had their birthdays during the holidays and came back to school a whole year older.  Room 16 helped them celebrate with a birthday certificate.

Logan, Pene, Fateh and Feiloaki are now all six years old!

Pt England Cross Country 2018

Room 16 were well represented in the year one boys race with Samson coming first and Tupou coming second.  It was a very close finish.  Well done to Samson and Tupou.  Your training helped you run the whole course without stopping.

Using our iPads for Inquiry

This term in Inquiry we have been thinking about healthy eating and other ways we can keep our self fit and healthy.  At the end of the term the children had to do an activity on their iPad using the skills they have learnt such as copy, paste and duplicate to show what they had learnt.  Here are three of the children at work on the task.

Samson copying an object.

Logan thinking about a choice.

Nate completing the activity. 

Building with Magnetic Shapes

Samson used his imagination to build a house out of the magnetic shapes.

E Ruru Taku Poi

Room 16 have been learning to use poi in te Reo.  First they practised with one poi while singing the waiata E Ruru Taku Poi.  With a bit of practise they were soon trying out using two poi with quite some success.

Team Assembly Certificates

Anne Marie has been putting in effort with her learning so she was awarded a Team Assembly certificate.   Mariposa is always an enthusiastic member of Room 16 so he was also a recipient of a team certificate.  Chevelle always has a great positive attitude towards her learning, quietly getting on with her work.  Well done Chevelle.
