Whakatauki

Children are learning an important whakatauki over the next two weeks referring to our ngā ura / value of Manaakitanga (resect)

Action Stations

I like Action Stations because they’re better than the Daily 5. The listening stories are really relaxing. I also like building because I can be really creative. I also like them because we can chose what we want to create. I once made a massive creation that protects the army people.

Get your boarding pass, grab that passport and read through the Library from A to Z!

We have our first completed passport! Well done to Mrs Grieve who has found quite a few treasures in the picture books, and she is looking forward to sharing these in class! It is not too late to join - see Rita.

Sea Week

We walked all the way to Magazine Bay on Monday. My leg hurt a bit - I have itchy bites that got infected. But I persevered. I liked making the sand art best. It was exciting and fun!
