This was a great success in Room 5. Room 5 students all wore something pink to support the mahi of the Mental Health Foundation. How good is Room 5's dress up?!

What an impressive block run for Term 1. Well done to all of Room 5 for giving it there absolute best. A special congratulations to the following students who achieved a badge.

Room 5 absolutely nailed the beep test for term one. All of the students pushed themselves out of there comfort zones and gave it everything they had in the tank. It was great to see the students encourage and challenge each other.

“Pua cast his line from the dinghy and it snagged straight away. Uncle tried to help him reel it in but it wouldn’t budge. Suddenly the skies turned grey, the sea got choppy, and a giant pirate ship bubbled up from the depths of the ocean, dwarfing Uncle’s dinghy.”

Today Room 5 had the chance to have a go at our Tahuna block run. The sun was shining and it was warm outside, but I was very impressed with the attitudes and perseverance the students showed during this. This year we will work on our fitness and running, so students can be ready to go for the timed run to see if they can receive a badge or beat their time from the run before. As long as the students are giving it 100% and improving each time ,that is a success!

Thank you to Mark, Jemma, Angela, Nicola, Ms Parker, Noah and Miss Kimpton.

Math games are a big part our math programme and always a favourite in math rotations. This week Room 5 have been learning to play different games and learning new skills to encourage proactive learning and working together. This helps children retain more information and consolidate their existing knowledge of the topic.

Congratulations to Chloe and Tyler who were voted to be Room 5 Class Councillors for 2023. A special mention to Kaela who came in really close in third place and will be our deputy. Well done to everyone who gave it a go and gave a great speech in front of the class.

Room 5 enjoyed there first week of technology!

This week we were lucky to have a First Aid session around injuries at camp from St John. .

This year we have Miss Kimpton working in Rūma Rima with us. So far she has been amazing. She is helpful, kind, listens to us and always is really FUN. We are really excited for the year ahead with her. I am sure that she will be a great teacher to her future class. By Maisy
