Turning Six

Filipo and Darren have recently both had birthdays and are now 6! 

Loud Shirt Day

To celebrate Loud Shirt Day the children were allowed to wear a "Loud Shirt" to school instead of their school uniform in return for a gold coin to go towards helping children with hearing problems.  We supported this great cause and thought it was a great end of term activity.

Cross Country Winners

Room 16 was well represented in the recent cross country race with a first and a second as well as a fourth and a fifth.  Well done to everyone for a great effort in practising hard and turning out for the race. Congratulations to Filipo who won the Year one boys race and Isabella who came second in the year one girls race.  Kakala ran fourth and Mele fifth in the year one girls race.

Tongan Language Week

T ongan Language week was celebrated with a special assembly as well as activities in the library.  There was Tongan stories, dancing and food.  The children from Room 16 went along to enjoy the Tongan stories, dancing and food.  It was a lovely way to learn a little bit about Tongan culture.
