Marae Visit

This week we went to the Unitec marae. Whaea Jess and Whaea Linda welcomed us onto the marae. We all took our shoes off and went into the marae. When we got into the marae, my grandpa (Matua Hare) introduced us to the staff. Papa Hau and Whaea Jess taught us some songs and we sang Ka waita to the staff. Then we went and had the best scones ever for morning tea and had a play outside and went headed into the bus. I can't wait for next we had a great time!

St Mary Mackillop's Feast Day

Last week it was St Mary Mackillop's feast day. We did some fun activities with Room 3 like making a poster about Mary Mackillop and Mary Mackillop paper statues. My buddies were Rosa and Eva, it was so much fun! I hope we go back to room 3 again. This is what my statue looks like.

Pumanawa

Every week on Monday we go to a classroom for Pumanawa. I'm in Room 6 for Pumanawa! So basically if you're a senior you do ether yoga in library, performing\singing Rm 6, cartooning Rm 5, digital technology and food science. In Rm 6 we're singing a million dreams and Ka waiata and learning about props and costume. This week we made a costume, we got given two big pieces of fabric, pins and two pieces of elastic with that we made a dress! It has been very fun in Rm 6.

Book Week

This term we had book character week! I went in a group as the babysitters club.

It was a really fun day and we had a Book Week treasure hunt! This is a photo of us.

Assembly

Last week we were presenting our assembly in the hall we had two main parts our dance and our play\story. My favourite was the dance it was really fun. We did our dance to a Anzac song and our play to "My grandad marches on Anzac Day". We all had a part to say, mine was introducing the dance. I can't wait for room 5's next assembly!

Orange day

Last Friday was shine day and we were campaigning against domestic violence. We all dressed up in orange and brought a gold coin. In the morning we took a photo of the whole school and in the classroom with our friends. In the afternoon we went to the swimming sports assembly. I got 2nd in the 25m, 3rd in breaststroke and 2nd in the relays. I had a great day!

Swimming Sports

Yesterday we went to the Connolly swimming carnival. It was at West Wave pools. I entered the competitive swimming and did backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke. I had a great time! I came 2nd in 25m, 3rd in 50m and 2nd in the relays. At the start the bus came late and we waited for so long it felt like forever but the bus ended up coming. I'm very happy that Sheppard came 2nd in the relays! I can't wait for next year.
