Thank-You Mt. Hobson Students

Every Friday, after lunch,  Ms. O' Connor and her students from Mt. Hobson would come and help the children in Team One with their team activities. The students helped set up the equipment for the games and were terrific coaches. We had a celebration to thank them for coming and taking care of us. They brought pizza, marshmallows, snacks and treats. It was like having a party at school. Thank-you Mt. Hobson. We wish you everything of the best for 2021.

Week 5's Lunch box Heroes

 During assembly, this morning Joscior, Aroha, Isla-May and Adnan won the lunch box hero prize. We had some very happy children today.

Art Alive

The clever and creative children in Team One made their very own African necklace. It is believed that wearing and owning old African bead or jewellery can give luck, wisdom, hope and a good sense of well being to the owner. How cool is that? Take it away Team One.

Whacky Wheels

 Today we went to Sylvia park to watch Manaiakalani's annual Film Festival. We watched lots of wonderful movies. We think Team One's movie was the best. Thank-you Mrs. Squires for making our movie.

Crazy weather.

During the week the weather has been extreme. It changes very quickly from warm and sunny to stormy and rainy. Mrs. Squires slides had a rainy day story and children had to write about the weather. Cullai enjoyed the home learning tasks. He worked hard at writing some tricky words.

Joscior's Fish

 Joscior can write a sentence with the support of his mum. He listened to the recording and wrote down the words for the sentence. Joscior knows a few words and is learning the alphabet names and sounds.

Timothy's Caterpillar Story

 Timothy enjoyed listening to the online story called 'Caterpillar Shoes.' He wrote the words all by himself and tried to spell the words caterpillar and shoes by sounding it out. 

Joscior's Home Learning

 The chidren in Team One had their first Goole Meet this morning. A few children joined the meeting and the teachers are hoipng that we have more children come on online. This was Joscior's first meeting as he just started school a few weeks ago. Joscior went onto the home learning page and completed the activities. He is feeling happy and wanted to share his learning.Today's Home Learning activities that Joscior completed:

Joscior found these shapes in his house.

A very proud boy.

Puzzles

Isla-May and Jimmy Tai like playing with the puzzles and are really good at putting the pieces correctly to make a gingerbread man.

At Playtime

My students just can't wait for playtime. They keep asking me when it's time to go out and play. I know that some of them love playing on playground but was not sure of what the other kids did at playtime. One day when I was on playtime duty I saw some of my children doing some fun activities.

Khyana, Akanesi and Tevita like climbing trees. 

Sione, Cullai and Laker like sitting in the shade and chatting.

Alex loves riding bike.

This is Timothy who also enjoys riding on the bike track.

Year 5 and 6 Camp

Last week the Year 5 and 6 children had camp on our school field. The children in Room 18 were so excited to see the tents going up so we decided to go and have a wonder around their camp site. There were so many little tents.  During camp the children had lots of fun and exciting activities. We could see them go down the waterslide outside our classroom bay. They had lots of fun.

We can't wait to go to camp! 

Milk in Schools

The children in Room 18 enjoyed drinking their chilled milk after playing Rippa Rugby on Thursday. Some children asked for seconds.

It was a very hot day so we decided to sit under the tree.

Alex and Laker like drinking milk.
"It's so nice and cold. We feel a whole lot better now,"
said Laker and Alex

Thank-You Fonterra.
