Four children from room 16 received prizes at our end of year prize giving.   Cheveu and Dothan got prizes for effort, Te Hiritanga got a prize for citizenship and Tamaimon got a prize for academic promise. 

 

 

Last Day Of School

 The last day of school is always exciting with lots of things happening.  The Children got their Christmas goodie bags played with bubbles and wore their Elf hats to the last assembly of the year.  Good bye Room 16 and 18 of 2022!

Team One's Fun Day

 A Fun Day at school is great.  You get to share the fun things like water slides and bouncy castles with your friends.  Then after our big picnic lunch Santa paid a visit so it looks as if it is getting very near to Christmas.

Mareikura's Duffy Certificates

 Mareikura was a recent Room 16 Duffy Certificate winner.  I hope you enjoy your book Mareikura.

Team One's Trip To The Zoo

 Going to the zoo is always fun.  But sharing a visit with your class buddies is even better.  As the day was a bit grey,  many of the animals were quite content to watch us watching them.  We got some good views of the animals and enjoyed our day at the zoo.

Room 16 Likes To Hide In Boxes

 Some empty boxes appeared in our bay and the children decided they would be something exciting to play with.  They explored how they could squeeze into, through, over and under the boxes.  There was much laughter as they popped out of boxes or disappeared into them.  It is not only cats that like to hide in boxes!

Enjoying their Duffy Books

The children at Pt England school were fortunate to get some Duffy Books that they could take home to treasure and share with their whanau. Maia and Dion are very happy with their choices.

 

 

Engineers In Training

 Leakona and Tamaimon found some tubes and join them together to make one giant tube.  They had fun making marbles run down the tube.  Then they wanted to find a way of making the marbles run further so they problem solved with some of the car things and found the racing car slope worked the best and made the marbles run further.  They had great fun with their trial and error problem solving.

 

Sabian's Athletics Certificate

 At our recent Athletics Day Sabian participated in the Girls 50 metre sprint and came second.  She received at certificate at Assembly.

 

Kiwi Kids Charity Road Trip

 The Kiwi Kids Charity Road Trip dropped by Pt England School in their amazing cars.  They gave a cheque to the school and each child got a drink bottle or a bag.  The children enjoyed seeing the cars and the drivers dressed up and were very thankful to receive a gift too.  Thank you Kiwi Kids for your thoughtful gifts and donation.

Royston's Duffy Certificate

 Royston has been working hard with his writing.  He has learnt to use his knowledge of letter sounds to help him write unknown words in his stories.  Well done Royston.

Kairo is 6

" I am 6 today," said Kairo.  "It is my birthday today."  Kairo  is very pleased that it is finally his birthday and he was able to celebrate with all his friends.  Happy Birthday Kairo.

I Spy Kindness

 For the Manaiakalani Film Festival, Room 16 made a movie about kindness.  Did you know that you can be a Kindness Super Hero?  Room 16 found lots of ways to be kind and they share some of the ways in their movie.

Team One Film Festival Presenters

 Our fantastic Film Festival presenters all received a certificate in recognition of the effort they put in to present their class films at the recent film festival.  They gave up their lunchtimes to practise and it is not easy getting up in front of whole theatre of people and saying the lines they learnt.  Well done all of the presenters.  We are all very proud of you.

GoingTo Watch Our Movie

The whole school went to Hoyt's Theatre at Sylvia Park to watch our Manaiakalani Films.  The children were very excited about going on a bus with their buddies and to see themselves on the big screen.  Our movie - "I Spy Kindness" was also shown at night.

Good Friends

 "A friend is one of the best things you can be and the greatest thing you can have."  

                                                                                                                    Sarah Valdez

What makes a good friend?  There are many ways to be a good friend - sharing and having fun together, caring and being a good listener.  Friends are something we all need and as Raymond says in our movie "life would be boring without friends."  There would be no one to share things with or to play with.  Here are some of the ways Room 16 have thought of that you can be a good friend. 

Duffy Certificate Winner

 This weeks Room 16's Duffy Certificate was awarded to Harley.  Harley has had a good attitude towards all his learning.  Good work Harley.

 

National ShakeOut Drill

 New Zealand ShakeOut (Whakahaumaru Aotearoa) was our national earthquake drill held on Thursday 27 October.  It reminds us of the right action to take during an earthquake and like so many things we need to practise.  We even thought about what to do outside so we practised that too.

Harley and Titan practised "Drop. Cover, Hold" inside.

 "Drop and cover" outside 

 

Team Certificates For Titan and Francis

 Room 16 have been working very hard this week so it was difficult to choose just two people to get certificates.   Francis has been learning his numbers and can identify numbers up to one hundred and Titan has quiet and calm as he focused on his learning.  Well done to both boys.
