Room 7 Week 4 Term 2 2014

Talofa lava Everyone!

This week we have continued to be good citizens and have helped each other in lots of ways in class and in the playground.

It was Samoan Language Week and we had a special assembly.

Aunty Tala and the Samoan Dance Group made us laugh a lot and we clapped and cheered too!

Here we are in our Mufti clothes

There was a competition! The men had to put on their high heels and make up and do a Samoan dance. We thought it was very funny!

 

The dancing was AMAZING! We LOVED it!

 

 

The principal's award went to Imran Safi this week for very good citizenship in always helping the class.

Korey Donaldson-Witehira got a special award from Mrs Maitland for excellent work in reading.

Well done award winners! We are proud of you!

 

Have a great long weekend Everyone!

Room 7 Week 2 Term 2 2014

Kia Ora Whanau!

Room 7 is learning about 'Better citizens for today and tomorrow!' We are learning how to be good citizens. Our question is 'What can I do that helps me and helps you?'

We had a special visitor come to speak to Pohutukawa Syndicate this week. His name is Jim Filiva'a. He is studying at the University of Auckland and he does volunteer work for the Edmund Rice Camps in Auckland.
Jim was teaching us how to be a good citizen and what he does to be a good citizen. Jim said that when someone was hurt he would help them.
by Lorenzo
Jim was interesting. When Jim started being a good citizen was when he was 5. When someone fell down he helped him get up.
By Imran
Jim, we all hope you liked our haka.
by Shaniqa.
Jim told us to be a good citizen and help lots of people and be careful. He said we are all good citizens.
By Wendy.
We thanked Jim with our School Haka.

 

 

This was our first week to do Get Set Go with Mitch. It was raining so we went in the hall. He showed us how to do balancing. It was fun!

 

 

 

Mitch was teaching us how to balance on one arm and one leg. He even taught us how to play a balance game.

By Lorenzo.

Mitch helped us balancing with one leg and on our bottom.

By Imran

Thank you Mitch for helping us balance on one leg and on our bottom. Thank you for teaching us how to play your game. I liked being the frog and catching the flies.

By Shaniqa.

All of Room 7 were balancing with Mitch and we hope you get to do it too. When we were with Mitch we all balanced on our tummy, bottom and one arm and one leg.

By Wendy.
