Talented Dancers

We were treated to a dance performance from a group of students who recently had their end of year concert. Everyone enjoyed their enthusiastic dance moves and we were all very impressed with the practise that must have gone into learning all those moves. Well done Tallulah for your individual dance as well, you have a special talent and I am sure you will achieve what you set out to in the future.

Beach Visit

We are so lucky go have the sea at the end of our street so close to school. Rooms 5 and 6 walked down there today to get some inspiration for writing. Hopefully there will be some very super writinig from the students tomorrow.

Athletics Day

We did have to use the postponement day for the Junior Athletics this year because of the wet ground after heavy night falls of rain and very cold temperatures of only 12 degress. The delay was worth it because Thursday ended up fine. It was a very energetic 2 hours of running, jumping and throwing. For some children it is the highlight of the year and for others probably not so enjoyable. There was a great group of parents cheering everyone along which was great. Well done Room 5 children , you were all awesome.

Marae Visit

We had a very successful visit to the Rapaki Marae a few days ago. Unfortunately we ran out of time to take a group photot outside the lovely Wharenui. The Rooms 4 , 5 and 6 children were absolutely amazing during the visit and sang a beautiful waiata and performed a fabulous haka. Another highlight  was the bus trip through the tunnel.

Thank you buddies

Once again we say thank you to our buddy class.  This time they came and taught us about lines of symmetry and symmetrical shapes. 

The Old Woman and the Shoe

Room 5 produced a fantastic performance of The Old Woman and the Shoe. Everyone had a role to play and they were outstanding. Well done.

jump Rlope

The Junior Team was lucky that the sun came out yesterday morning for the Jump Rope rotation. The skill level has improved a lot over the last few weeks. Everyone had a great time and were pretty puffed by the end of the session.

Hosting the Junior Team Aassembly

To do something well takes practise and Alex and Luca certainly practised with their scripts before they  hosted the Junior Team assembly today. Congratulations to you both, you did a great job.

Fun Fridays

The most popular day of the week in Room 5 is Friday. We always start with Discovery in the morning. This week the children had a go making vegetable prints and practised some skipping skills ready for the Jump Rope for Heart this week. We were grateful to our buddies who came along to help us write some notes to go with the paper plate art collage we made as part of our Fairy Tale inquiry.

Parents read to children

Four parents kindly came back into the class after the parade and read some stories to the children. Everyone in Room 5 enjoys reading and being read to.

Book Week Parade

Avery successful Book Week concluded on Friday with a parade. Everyone in Room 5 looked pretty amazing dressed up as their favourite book character.
