Pōwhiri hoki - Welcome back!

Term 1 was AWESOME, but our learning in Term 2 is going to be out of this world! As always visit our class blog regularly to see our wonderful mahi and achievements. Here is just one of the interesting things that we will be doing weekly directly on to our class blog. 


Every week we will have a different Space Ponder to think about. Ruma rua tekau ma rima students will add their ideas in a comment. 

If you feel like sharing your thoughts about our Space Ponders, then please do so by sharing them in a comment also.

ANZAC day ceremony at our school

"He whanau kotahi tatou - We are all family"
What a great way to end our term, a very big thank you to Mrs Bridgette Tuipolotu and Room 23 for all of their hard work. Thank you to all of our special guests that attended and who participated in our ceremony.  Here are a few photos from today's ceremony.

Every class had a student representative share with us what they think about ANZAC day. Solomone proudly represented Ruma rua tekau ma rima.





Te mutunga mai o te pai- Ultimately awesome Solomone!!!!

As a class we also did some Poppy art work, and Nicholas was inspired to create this sketch.

We are resilient!!!!- Kauri Big Splash was miharo!

The weather didn't stop the Kauri Team from sharing our swimming skills and celebrating our learning today. Every student who participated showed great Manaakitanga and Manawanuitanga to compete and finish all of the races.

I was super proud of Ruma rua tekau ma rima today, always finishing strong. A very big KIA ORA to all of the Kauri Team teachers who worked hard to make this wonderful day happen.

Here a few pictures of Ruma rua tekau ma rima in action..............
