Our Noho Marae Experience

Last week Room 2 joined Room 11 for a very special trip to Owhata Marae at Hinemoa Point. We even stayed the night in the wharenui together; for some of us, it was our first sleep over! Not only did we have a fantastic end of the year trip, but we also learnt a lot about living under one shelter with others. It was great learning for our term four inquiry (Shelter Matters), and it helped us to practice the co-operative skills we have been learning all year in our thinking groups. Have a look at some of our noho marae photos :)

Pass It!

Whaea Aherai (Whaea Katie is sorry if she spelt it wrong) has been coming in to teach us ball skills. It's been lots of fun! Check out some of the photos Whaea Katie took on our new school camera!

Swimming Sessions

Kia ora!

We have 3 swimming sessions each week. Our time slots are:
Mondays at 11:30 am, Tuesdays at 1:30 pm and Thursdays at 11:30 am.

Look out for more blog posts coming in a week or so... I have had to order another ipad charger... it's currently flat with photos and videos that need to be shared!

Rheana's Learner Lead Reporting Experience

On Thursday the 22 September 2011 I went to learner led reporting. I was really NERVOUS all that week leading up to today but I got used to it and ended up doing really well. I really enjoyed showing my parents what I have done and learnt at school.

Black and White Friday

Today is the Opening Ceremony of the Rugby World Cup. We were all very excited and came to school wearing black and white to support the All Blacks. We love our All Blacks team and hope they win! Yay!
