NETBALL TASTER with TASH

Last week we had Tash come and visit us from Hamilton City Netball. 

She came and taught us some skills that we can apply when we are playing netball and basketball.

We found that there are some significant differences when it comes to netball and basketball, but the majority of the ball skills are adaptable between both sports.

We are talented basketball players, so we can now also be talented netball players.

Thanks Tash for coming to visit us. 

See you again next term.

    

    

   

TUAKANA & TEINA

From Monday to Thursday we read to, read with and read by the Teina students in our school. 

It is an opportunity for us to show leadership as we give back to the students who came before us and who helped us along our learning pathway.

Big thank you to Ms Shore and her class for having us in your class to support the learning of both groups of students. 

I WISH I WAS...

On Friday we took part in the "I Wish I Was" Day.

This is a day where we all got dressed up as a book character, a movie character or as a person that we wished we could be right now.

Our contribution for this day was very important as it was our way to support the 'Make a Wish' foundation which grants special wishes to sick children here in New Zealand.

Here are some snapshots of how we took part in this event.

        

 

          

          

          

          

          

          

Us as a class...

Here are some of the rest of the school, teachers included.

We raised over $200 for this worthy foundation.

Congratulations to all the students in our school. We are glad we could contribute to this NZ charity of children helping children.

GRANDPARENTS DAY

On Wednesday we had our annual 'Grandparents Day' which coincided with 'Bookweek'. 

Our grandparents were invited to spend the morning with their moko (grandchildren) in their classrooms. Then they were invited to join the staff for morning tea. This was followed by a dance fest, where each class displayed a little music and dance number.

Here is the dance we learned for our grandparents-Barry White's "You're the first, my last, my everything."

Here are some snapshots of us with our nanny's, poppa's, grandma's, grandpa's, koro and kuia.

Character Descriptions

A huge thank you from us all in Room 9 to our grandparents who braved the weather to come and spend the morning with us. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
