Red Nose Day
The children have been learning about sharing ideas to stretch the boundaries. Last week the children decided to donate towards RED NOSE DAY. We had a mufti day and everyone tried to dress in red. We talked about what Red Nose Day means and how our sharing (donation) will help others in our community who are sick. The children really got into the spirit of giving and sharing. Well done, Room 1!
Antarctic Visit
On Wednesday 21st August the whole school went out to visit the Antarctic Centre. We had a lot of fun watching penguins, playing in the snow room, looking at the Antarctic Museum, going for a ride on the Hagglunds, watching a movie in 4D and watching our friend Tai get all dressed up in Antarctic clothes.
Thank you to all the parents who came and looked after us. Thanks to Jane and Laurel from the Antarctic Centre for showing us around and teaching us about the penguins and the Antarctic.
The children have written about their Antarctic adventure below.

Start of the New Term
Hi everyone,
Sorry this has taken me sometime to get up and running again with the blog but I am learning new things and hopefully being able to put it into the blog. This term we are looking at working together and sharing our ideas to stretch the boundaries.
For the first week the children in Room 1 chose to share a talent they had. Tristan shared his soccer skills, Rahil his rugby skills, Shafrin and Savou and Matua Nicholas taught us how to count in Arabic, Fijian and French. Kelly taught us a karakia. De-Ellah demonstrated her talent on the Monkey bars and Shikha showed us how she could write a lot of words.
Week Two and the children have been learning new skills from the teachers. Koi te hinengaro started on Friday (Strengthen the mind) and the children were baking, using sign language, making robots move, building a school world on the computer, learning how to make music using an apple application called Garageband and being outdoors and working together to solve problems.
Wow and this is only the beginning of the term.
Next week we have the Antarctic Visit and a little reminder that the children will need to bring very warm jackets, hats and gloves if possible. Many thanks to those parents who have offered to help on this trip.
