Another GREAT week in Ruma Tekau ma waru.

Luke was Room 18's Merit Certificate recipient this week. He lead a fabulous learning discussion on Thursday, speaking confidently and with great Manaakitanga.

Rekshan entered into the Fathers Day writing competition and it was his entry that was selected. 

Congratulations to Rekshan and his Dad!

Watch out world Miss Mills has 25 body guards!!!

This weeks Taekwondo session including punching and blocking as well as celebrating being a LOSER. That's right, I said it "We are LOSERS and proud of it". Our instructor shared with us his personal experiences of winning and losing when competing in Taekwondo competitions. We totally took on board his message that, while we will win sometimes, most times we will lose and that's ok.

One thing I know for sure is that when it comes to giving everything 100%, Room 18 students and Miss Mills are WINNERS!

Congratulations to Luca!

Luca received our class Merit Certificate this week because he was showing Manaakitanga during our learning focus on Endangered Animals. Thanks Luca for sharing your understanding about how to create a Google Map.

It was a complete DRAMA!!!

On Monday Rooms 18 and 24 participated in a very quick drama session. It was extremely fun and funny. Students learnt how we communicate; talking, body language and movements etc and put it all together. Some students and yes the teacher, were naturals! Oscar winning performances were given for the "Sorry I sat on your lunch" scene. A very big THANK YOU to Rachel for sharing her time and specialist expertise in drama with us. Every other class in the Kauri team will also get to experience this lesson also.
