Our Awesome Assembly

Today, Room 2 ran the school assembly, this was an opportunity for them to showcase their work, their talents and practise their public speaking. The assembly only runs for an hour and the students prepare to show at least 4 items to the school. It was really tricky deciding who was going to show what in our assembly- we decided to showcase our Art, share our animations, perform a skit, share our writing and do a couple of dances -

Our Principal Ms Ross said that she really liked what we shared and how much we looked like we were enjoying our assembly. Whaea Sally was very proud of us as well. Below is the assembly slide that we showed the school.

Crowns up in Kawakawa

This morning there was buzz of excitement at Kawakawa primary school, The royal family Varsity crew came to perform for us. Room 2 really enjoyed their performance and decided that we wanted to dance in our own upcoming assembly.  We are really excited to go to the royal families disco tonight at the school hall as well.

Whaea KC and Kiorahi

We were very lucky to have Whaea KC come from the Ngati Hine health trust to teach us the game of Kiorahi today.  A lot of us already knew how to play but we still went over the rules of

the game.  We played right through morning tea as well.  Thank you Whaea KC for your time, we can't wait to see you next time.

Cleaning up our Community

On Thursday the whole school gathered together with a mission to clean up our Awa and the surrounding town.  The Junior syndicate cleaned the school and the streets that go from our school to town, the middle syndicate cleaned the parks around town and the senior syndicate jumped in the water and cleaned out our river.

This event ties into our topic for the term "water conservation" and we could not believe all the rubbish we had found.  Check out our slide with some pictures of the day.

The Water Cycle

This term our topic is Water conservation and we thought the best place to start with water conservation is to find out where water comes from.  Did you know that majority of Earth's water is salt water?  Room 2 has been learning about the water cycle and the three phases which are: evaporation, condensation and precipitation.  We made our very own water cycle in a bag and we have been watching the water cycle in action.
