Team One Certificate Winners For Week 3 Term 2

Sometimes it is hard to try new things.  When you are brave and try new things you sometimes find it wasn't so hard and it really was fun.  That is what Aie Sorn and Harmeny found at Kiwi sport yesterday.  They persevered, were able to do some tricky things and ended up having fun.  Well done girls for being brave.

Lunch Box Heroes

Room 16 had two children's names pulled out of the Lunchbox heroes box this week.  Harmeny was very brave and she went up on the stage to show the pineapple that she chose out of the cupboard.  Aie Sorn was too shy and Filipo was very kind to her and comforted her so she could have her photo taken.
