Art time!

The tamariki have been learning about Picasso. Today they started their Picasso portraits. We'll put our finished masterpieces on the blog soon!

Class Awards

Here are our lovely tamariki who got the certificates this week for not interrupting others and respectfully waiting.

Special Awards

Well done to Lael for doing well on her basic facts and Tyson for awesome story writing this week!

Values Awards

Well done to these children who got the values Awards this week.  Our focus was looking at the speaker and listening carefully to others.

Silent Circle

Today Rooms 10 & 11 played another team game. The children had to work together to pass the marble container around the circle without the person in the middle hearing a sound......a very fun challenge!

More team building in Rooms 10 and 11

How can we travel across the "lava" by only touching the mats?
How many children can we stand on the mat if we support each other?

Room 11 writing

Have you ever wondered what your child thinks is the best part of their body? Check out the display in our foyer to find out!

Room 12 Writers!

Our writing was about 'The Best Part of Me'.

The children decided which part of themselves they liked the best and explained why that part of their body was the best. 

Mrs Newton took close up photos of our best part!!!

Our work is displayed in the cloakroom for everyone to see our great work!

Team building with Rooms 10 and 11!

Best Part Of Me stories

Cody

I like my hands because they grab, build and help me eat.  My hands help me pick up stuff like my toys and my soft toys. I like my hands because they help me colour in and write sentences for my mum and dad. I like my hands so much.


Benji

I love my hands because they hold the rugby ball when I run to the other side.  They hold the remote too, for sonic and the Wii.  Sonic is a driving game and the Qii is a game that you can choose any game you like.


Oliver

I like my hands because they help me fish. They wind in the reel when I have a fish on. They do all sorts of fishing like spinning or bait or fly fishing.


Jasiah

I like my hands because they help me pick up stuff and draw and write. I like my eyes because they help me see and make sure I don't trip.  I like my feet the most but not my hands.


Micah

I like my hands because they make my bed in the morning and they also brush my teeth and my hair.  And I can run and catch balls and throw them and also pick up stuff.

Team awards for this week.

Our focus this week was respect...speaking nicely to our friends and our teachers. These tamariki were all recognised for this in our whanau hui today - well done!

Welcome to 2018!

We are looking forward to meeting with all of our whanau on our Parent evening next Wednesday, the 14th of February. Picnic from 5:30, team chat in the hall from 6:30.
