Our Assembly

This picture is our school band and they play every Friday at the beginning and at the end of assembly  they are the best in the school they practices all the time and play their very best onFridays. Here is the picture so you can see them!

Hi everyone we go to assembly every Friday in our  school we are learning about how to protect our field’s so that Pt England can play on them in the winter. This is because we want nice field’s to play on at all the times. This is our beautiful field.

This is our gear that we work with and we are always learn new things  about them we learn new things with them and most importantly use them to learn about, math, reading.writing and maybe even sciences.

Here are our student’s that get a Duffy Award in assembly each Friday that  have been caught being good, so Mr  Burt calls out the name then they had to walked up to the stage. They each receive a book as a reward for their efforts.

Walking to School Challenge

Winners Takitimu - Cheeehooo!!
Here's Jorja and TJ with the trophy.

Class 1's New Class in Being Built and is already nearly finished!

As you can see the builders are building Class 1's new class really quickly. It's really coming along and will definitely be built before the start of Term 2. I can't wait for it to be ready to use and enjoy!

EMPATHY

We've been talking a lot about what Empathy looks like, sounds like and feels like... here's some of our thoughts.

SO FAR SO GOOD!

Class 1's new classroom is progressing really fast now. I reckon the builders are working really hard for us to have it as soon as possible. Who knows maybe weeks from now we'll have our newly built classroom to use. 

Hopefully it's built in time for Term 2. I guess I'm saying that the builders have been making a lot of progress with the building of our new class. 

IT'S COMING ALONG QUICKLY!!

Empathy And Sympathy

A few girls from Class 1 created a simple movie showing the differences between Empathy and Sympathy. They used songs as well as speech to tell the story. Enjoy!

Calvin's Back!

One the first day of school we started off writing a simple sentence about how we were feeling and then added to it. Here is an example form Calvin.

WALT:add detail to my sentences.

While I was walking to school, I was a bit anxious and hoping that I wouldn't be in a class with friends that could steer me in the wrong direction. not to mention a boring class. 

I went to the hall for our school Immersion assembly. I saw lots of my friends, even ones from a whole range of schools.

Embarrasing ...I ended up in the wrong class for the first half of the day, because there were two calvin's and I went to the wrong Calvin's class. The rest of the day was better as I settled into my proper class.

What's going on in Class 1???

What a great start to the term.  Not sure what Mr Barks was up to... so will update this next week!

Our New Class

Yay - it's the construction of Class 1 is underway!!

We're feeling very excited that there is action on the building site for our new classroom!

Futureintech Ambassador

We were lucky enough to have Bronwyn Brown come and talk to us about food and nutrition and her job. Bronwyn is a Food Technologist at Horleys and she helped us to think about what is really in our food and how the diet of an elite athlete might differ from our own.
Maybe one of us will have a job like hers one day!

Thanks for coming and sharing your expertise Bronwyn, and a big thank you also to Alison from Futureintech who organised this Ambassador visit.
