School is Back!

We are very happy to be back at school - learning, seeing our friends and having fun.  It is the same class but it is all a bit different.  We know about "My place, my space" but we are so glad to be back.  Here are some of the things we have been doing over the last two weeks.

Duffy Certificate Award

Joelle has been at school each day.  She has been listening hard to instructions so that she do tasks correctly.  She was the Room 16 Duffy Award winner this week.  I hope you enjoyed sharing your book with your family over the long weekend Joelle.

Samoan Language Week

This week has been Samoan Language Week.  We have not been able to do the activities in the lunch hour that we normally do to celebrate Samoan Language Week but we have had items on PENN and on Friday at our live streamed assembly we did have the samoan group dancing.  In our class we made some cutout paper flowers using a traditional pattern as well as some printed flowers.

Room 16's Lunch Box Hero

Rataimore was Room 16's lunch box hero this week.  She had her name drawn out and chose some yummy spaghetti.  I hope you enjoy it with your family, Rataimore.

Chad's Dog Story

Chad wrote "My dog is black and white."

Peyton's Tooth is Missing

Peyton came to school with a big smile - but something was missing.  There was a gap were a tooth should have been!  Peyton said her tooth had come out the night before and the Tooth Fairy had visited and left her some money

Bubbles

On our return to school we talked about our home bubbles that we had been in with our families.  We drew our families inside a bubble and made colourful edges.  When we were outside blowing bubbles we noticed the rainbow colours on the edges of the bubbles.  We also saw how the bubbles popped when they touched each other so we are now in our school bubbles staying spaced out and not touching each other.
