Bostin's lamb

This morning Bostin's mum brought "Emma" the lamb to school. Emma was wearing a nappy so she couldn't go to the toilet inside. Emma was cute. She felt soft and woolly. Emma was quiet. We liked patting Emma.

             

              

               

               

               

            

              

Project Energize

Project Energize!

We have a new Energize instructor, Whaea Morgana, who comes in to teach us new games every second Monday.
Te Pihi loves to get active and have fun. We also listen and learn to follow instructions, so that the game is played fairly and correctly. We have learnt to play 'Rip the Tail' and 'Builders and Bulldozers.'
Haere mai ki te kura o Paparore Whaea Morgz!

Energize Session with Garth

Two hands in a hoop!

Three feet in the hoop!

We had fun in the whare with Garth today! First we moved like animals to warm-up. Next we had to place different body parts in our hoops. Then we had fun flicking the hoop along the floor.

Matariki Writing

Today we published our writing for the writing wall. As part of our Matariki celebrations we wrote about our goals that we have set ourselves for the Maori New Year. Carter is really proud of her published work. Ka pai to mahi, Carter!

Gifts from the Patel whanau

Today Preet's whanau came in to give EVERY student in our school a small gift as part of a tradition in their culture to acknowledge the passing of a close family member. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts Mr & Mrs Patel as we know this must be a very sad time for you all especially not being able to get back to India because of the Covid-19 virus.
