Saying Thank You To Our Helpers

We were very fortunate to have parent and support staff helpers on our zoo trip.  The children are learning how important it is to say "thank you" to people who help us .  All the children made cards. Hamza and Jeyda made cards to give to Mrs Forbes.

Jeyda made a lovely card with pictures of the cheetah.

We Are Movie Stars.

"For our movie at the Manaiakalani Film Festival I was dressed up as a wolf and Jeyda was dressed up as Little Red.  Little Red and Harold helped me be a champion."  By  Marius

Take a look at our movie "Winning Ways" to see how Wolfie became a champion.

Last Day Assembly

Room 16 made themselves Olympic themed hats to wear to assembly on the last day of term.

That Flying Feeling.

Adrianna, Jeyda and Khyani felt as if they were flying in their lovely Loud Shirt Day tops.  You do look like elegant dancers.

Loud Shirt Day

In support of the hearing impaired people we had a loud shirt mufti day.  Room 16 supporters had some beautiful "loud" clothes on right down to matching "loud" shoes.

End of Term Treats

We had a special treat for morning tea on the last day of term.   It was fun to celebrate the end of term by munching cookies along with our fruit.

Wheels at School

On the last day of term we had a "Wheels Day" when the children were able to bring their "wheels" to school.  Bikes, scooters and skate boards were brought to school and the children had great fun whizzing around the school on their wheels.

Team Work to Measure.

It took quite a few children to build a high Duplo tower but with team work anything is possible.

BE NICE TO THE GRASS AND GARDENS PLUS THE WALLS

With all the rain we have had there is a lot of mud around the school grounds so the Friday message at assembly was "BN2daGG+ W".  This motivated some of the students to write and draw about their experiences.

Two Friends

Two friends had something new to show us and write about.

Khyani wrote a story about her necklace. "My Dad gave me a necklace from Fiji.  It has a dolphin on it."

Jeyda had a new headband.  "My new head band is like a tiarra that a princess wears.  It is shiny and makes me look like a princess."

A Lion's Smile?

Cake Bake Sale

The junior netball teams had a cake bake sale recently to raise funds for netball.  Room 16 went to the bake sale and everyone had a cupcake for our morning tea.  They were delicious.

Jeyda and Adrianna were able to purchase some yummy goodies for morning tea.

The Paper Bag Monsters

Room 16 recently enjoyed the book "The Night of the Paper Bag Monsters" by Helen Craig.

Jin wrote," I think they are getting ready for a ghost party and they won the ghost challenge.  They won the trophy."

Jeyda thought "the monsters were scary and colourful."  She drew a picture of one of the monsters on her iPad which sure looked scary with its horrible sharp teeth and yellow eyes.  I think I would have been scared meeting that monster on a dark night!

Player of the Day Week 1

Jeyda was very proud to be nominated Player of the day in Week 1 of Netball.  Coach Winnie presented Jeyda with her medal which she gets to keep.  Jeyda did a good job in helping her team pass the ball back and defending.

Roses First Game

Jeyda and Adrianna had their first game of netball.  It was exciting getting a uniform and taking the court with friends from year 1.  All the girls played well and helped each other get the ball passed down the court to put the ball through the hoop.  At assembly on Friday Jeyda was very excited to find she was player of the day for week one.

Starting Netball

Three girls from Room 16 - Vika, Jeyda and Adrianna, are in the Year One Roses netball team.  They had their first training session today with Coach Winnie.  With the help of two older girls the team practised ball skills and how to move the ball around the court.  Good lucky for Thursday when the team play their first game up at the Auckland Netball Courts.

Rainbow Fish

This term we have had the theme to "Make Kindness go viral" - Wheoritia  te atawhai.  We read a story about Rainbow Fish and watched a video and we thought Rainbow Fish was so kind that he made kindness go viral.  This is what Jeyda and Tumanako thought.

"Rainbow Fish was very kind because he shared his beautiful sparkly scales.  Sharing is caring." by Jeyda and Tumanako

Temalisi draw a kidpix picture about Rainbow Fish and all his friends.
