Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Room 27!

We had so much fun finishing off this year. We had our Junior School Carnival, School Picnic at Pt England Beach, and an amazing prize giving performance by all the children in our team. Congratulations to John, Angel and Paege who picked up their prizes for Citizenship, Effort and Digital Creativity.

Unfortunately Ms Gaston was running around too much to take any photos. Here is a photo of our Team 2 Christmas tree instead. Happy holidays!

The Sons of Ma'afu

Room 27 worked very hard to film our movie last term.

John and Masen play two cheeky Tongan sons who are always getting in trouble for throwing their spears in the wrong places. One day, when they throw their spears too close to their father the Chief Ma'afu, they get in trouble!

We hope you enjoy our movie! Please leave your comments below.

Term 3 PENN - Something in the Water

We have loved exploring our local environment this term. Check out what we've been getting up to!

Immersion Assembly for Term 3 - There's Something in the Water!

Team 2 teachers had a great time in the holidays exploring the path down the road between our beautiful local beach and the Tahuna Torea Reserve further up the coast. Our teacher Mrs Attenborough (aka. Mrs Carter) took her students; the animal lover (Ms Gaston), the lazy one (Miss Moran) and the lifelong learner (Ms Teleso), to see what we could see. We hope you enjoy our movie!

PENN for Term 2 - Our Gruffalo Stories!

We have been having fun using our imaginations! After reading 'The Gruffalo' in class, we talked about the characters and made up some new stories of our own.
Here are some stories we made, by animating on Explain Everything.

Immersion Assembly Term 2!

This term for our Inquiry, we are learning about directions so that we can find our way from a start to an end point. This topic is called 'I Like Your Latitude'. We will be learning about positional language, completing mazes and treasure hunts, and creating our own maps to show a journey.

On Monday, we had Immersion Assembly in the hall. Team 2's movie was about how we need to look left, look right, look up and down, to find treasure (or in this case Easter Eggs)!

Cats Play!

The Cats reading group, made up of children from Rooms 25, 26 and 27, performed their play 'The Best Animal in the Forest' on Monday at our team assembly.

I am very proud of how well they did in front of an audience of their peers. The animals moves and noises were very enjoyable, which I'm sure you will hear from the laughter evident in our clip.

Please watch our performance and leave your comment on our blog.

(Apologies for the sound quality, my usual voice recorder (my phone) was busy being employed as a microphone for our narrator.)
