Friday July 26

What a fabulous first week of Term 3!  Today, after morning tea, we had a Hip Hop group called Royal Family perform for the whole school.  The group is going to America next weekend to compete in the Hip Hop World Championships.  We loved their energy, and hope they have a successful time overseas. 

       

On Friday afternoon we had our first Jump Jam session of the term.  We are learning to focus on following the instructions, and to have fun while we learn.

LIFE EDUCATION

After this morning’s assembly, Room 17 were the first class to go and visit Lynne and Harold, the giraffe, at the Life Education bus.

Lynne and Harold are teaching us about healthy eating.  Today we learnt where a lot of our food comes from, and how we should be eating a lot of green food (from the ground), some orange food (from animals), but just a little bit of red food (treat food from the shop).  We will be following this session up in class, as we investigate our lunchboxes, write about healthy food, and find our more information about the food we eat.

Term 3 Immersion Assembly

Welcome to Term Three.

This term’s theme is science-based, and is called ‘There’s Something in the Water’ (he mea i roto i te wai).  The whole school is focusing on investigating different aspects of the waters around our school. 

Point England Beach is a short walk from the school, and Team One will be answering the question ‘What animals live at our beach, and how are they suited to their habitat?’. 

To inspire our children about the theme, Team One teachers created this movie which was shown at our Immersion Assembly.
