Round up of Week 1 --Term 3

Hi All

It was a nice surprise for all the students arrive back to new toilets! Many thanks to our hardworking PTA. Having hot water in there as well makes a big difference. 

Room 1 settled back quickly and took it in their stride having 2 teachers in the room. On Monday we kicked off the Maori unit with Mrs O'Neill teaching us how to make Koru patterns. 

Here is Hayley. 

 The first step was to create  them in the sandpit. 

Matilda is proud of  her koru.

On Thursday and Friday we visited Mr Grant who taught us Te Reo.

Hayley and Jessica greeting each other in Maori.

This coming week we will be going to Rm 12 to learn about Myths and Legends and then to Rm 11 to learn about Marae protocol. 

Skipping was our focus for Fitness this week.

On Monday I will send home a paper copy of all the things happening during Term 3. Also on Monday Mrs Megan Lanauze from The University of Canterbury Education joins us for 5 weeks. She is a Third year student and it is her last placement.

 Regards,

  Mary
