Last Day of 2021

What an amazing, wonderful day we had on the last day of 2021.  Only five children arrived in Room 17 today, but they had a fun-filled day. 

The biggest blessing they all had, was to receive a large gift from Mrs Harris (a friend of Mrs Shirley's).  Enjoy our short video of the occasion.

Self Portraits

Today, the children who were at school took home their self portraits.  One they painted at the beginning of the year, and the other one was painted this month (December).  I think they all did an awesome job!

Boomwhackers

 Mr Burt bought some Boomwhackers for Team One.  We love playing with them, and started learning to play some songs.  We hope you enjoy our movie that shows the beginning of our learning  journey. 

This term's Inquiry is:   Ta tatou Koreroro, Ta tatou Kowhiringa.  Our Voice, Our Choice.  We will be learning ways to use our voice in a positive, kind way within the many groups that we belong.  We belong to Church groups, sports groups, cultural groups, and family groups.  We need to learn how to make our voice heard, and how our voice, and the choices we make, make other people feel good about themselves.

Welcome Back!

 

Here we are at the beginning of Term Four.  Oh My Goodness!  Where is the year going?  And...we're back learning online!  That wasn't in our plan, but we're good at 'Just rolling with it'.  

I hope everyone enjoyed the two weeks of holiday, even though we couldn't go to the places we'd usually go to, or do the things we'd normally do during a holiday.  I hope that you enjoyed simply being with your family, and having fun, relaxing times with them.

Did you watch the School's Immersion Assembly this morning?  If you did, you would have seen all the Teams sharing what they would be learning this term.  Here is the movie that Team One made to show a bit about what we are learning this term.  Enjoy!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It's the last day of Term 3.  Even though our term was a bit unexpected, we all just 'rolled with it'.  Thank you to the wonderful tamariki that turned up to our Team and Class Meets, and to those who completed online learning and shared it with me.  You are all superstars.  

And...a huge thank you to the Mums, Dads, Nanas, Grandads, and older brothers and sisters who helped our lovely children to complete online tasks.  Your input has been soooo appreciated.

Enjoy having a bit of a relax for the next two weeks, and, providing everything goes as planned, I will see you back in class on Monday 18th of October.  Woo Hoo!!

Making a Poi

On Tuesday, Ruth and her Mum made a poi.  Here's a short movie showing them working together.  Nice job, Ruth and Mum!
