Who Am I?

This term for Inquiry, Team 1 has been looking at the question:  Who Am I and What Is Important in My World?  In Maori class with Whaea Francis, we have been learning how to introduce ourselves as well.  Room 13 decided to do self-portraits to show what we look like... and we've even been practising introducing ourselves in Maori in writing.  We are super proud of our new art for the wall!

iPads with Ms. Collins

A few of us in Room 13 had our very first introduction to the iPads that we are going to get to use this year.  It was super great to have Ms. Collins visit and show us how to care for them.  We also got to take a few pictures of what our class was up to (stay tuned for the blog post!)

Here's what we learned:
- Walk with two hands or hug your iPad closely while walking or getting it from your teacher
- Never share iPads, always use the one your teacher gave you
- Always have them on a flat surface and never sitting half off a desk, etc.
- Be super still while taking photos so that they are not blurry
- Have your feet glued to the ground while taking photos

Great First Few Weeks!

Wow, what a great first few weeks we've had back in the classroom!  And for our littlies, this will be their very first time at school.  Learning to write our names, making new friends, painting pictures, playing in the sandpit, swinging on the monkey bars, and making chameleons with colours of our own... just a few of the fun things we've been up to!  Stay tuned for more.

Junior Carnival Day!

What a great way to end the school year with our Junior Carnival Day - complete with Mr. Whippy and Santa Claus himself!  Wishing all of our students the best of summer holidays.  Stay safe and have fun! :) See you in 2019.

Art Walk Ready!

There's been lots of productive monkey-ing around this term... and we're now ready for the School Art Walk!

Athletics Day Fun

It was so much fun to participate in our Athletics Day Event with the whole school - and finally getting to put into practise all the training we've been doing for weeks to get ready.  And what a treat is was to watch our whanau, teachers, and students compete in a race!

Manaiakalani Film Festival

What an exciting day getting to see ourselves on the Silver Screen at the Manaiakalani Film Festival at Sylvia Park!  It was amazing to see all the cool movies that the classes have made.  Well done to Maddison and Masen for presenting Room 13/14's movie on stage.  Thanks to all the Year 6's that were our buddies for the day too! :)
