A little bit about ourselves...

 

Christmas Song to Learn

 We are learning the following two songs for our Middle School Assembly in two weeks.

Swimming!

 Here are some photo's from the Term 3 Swim Safe programme we ran at PERC.  We talked a lot about what to do in case of an emergency.  We also worked on improving our swimming fitness and stroke technique.  

Nuku Lab/Te Reo Maori

In Terms 3 and 4 we have been working with Matua Makaere Clarkson every Friday afternoon.  He has been heping us to learn a little bit about Te Reo Maori and the importance of our environment.    He invited Room 12 to the Nuku Lab Garden to view what they have been doing there.  Tumeke!

The Lemon Tree

 We have had fun learning the Lemon Tree song in class.  Do you know all the words?

Stop Drop and Cover

 Room 12 participated in the Nationwide Shake Out last week.  They followed instructions to the letter!  Great work R12.  We know how to keep ourselves safe!

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori

 We had some special guests come in and visit us during Te Wiki o te Reo Maori (Maori Language Week).  Wiremu's Dad and Tamina's Nan both came in and read Maori legends to the class.  

Mauruuru mo to panui     mai ki a maatau 

which means "Thank you for reading to us!"              

Fitness Fun at P.E.R.C

On the last day of school we went to the Pulse Energy Centre to take part in another fitness class.  It was awesome but exhausting!

 

Reading Group Volcanoes

 The Elephants Reading Group read how to make a volcano.  Once they had read the instructions they got to make one in the sandpit.

Petting the Pig

 Ameena brought her pigs in for a visit.  They were funny!  We wrote about them afterwards.
