Good Luck, Miss Kale!

This week we farewelled Miss Aroha Kale, who has been training as a teacher in Room 16 this term.  We had fun learning with Miss Kale and we wish her well in her new teaching position starting next Tuesday at Tawhai School.

Time with our buddies

On Friday afternoons we try to get together with our senior buddy class.  Today Mrs Adams and Room 6 came and sang with us.  Here is Izzy leading the two classes in song.

PE and Sports

In Term 2 we are learning to throw, catch, bounce and kick big balls.  Here we are practising our ball control before a game of soccer.

Honesty.

I'm honest by giving things back to whoever they belong to and that would make me a good friend. Throwing someone's ball at them and stealing it, that's not being honest.  Being honest is finding something and giving it back.  In some countries when someone steals they chop their hand off so they can never steal again.  If you have an honest heart it will lead to honest actions.

Once at school I saw a little doll on the ground and I wanted to take it home but I couldn't take it home because I knew that the toy was someone else's.  Then the person came and I gave it back to her.

We are learning about repeating patterns

Miss Kale and Room 16 made some repeating patterns today.  Here are some of them.

Cross Country 2014

We had been practising for weeks.  The sun was finally shining, the parents were gathered and we were ready to race!

Room 16 put on a good show this year, taking out 3 of the 4 top positions in the boys' race and 2 of the top 3 positions in the girls' race. Congratulations to Laila and Ethan for winning the Year 2 Cross Country races for 2014, to Callum and Pesi for their third placings and Taine for 4th.  Well done to all who put in their best effort.
