Pink Shirt Day...

... was held on the 21st May.
It is all about standing up against bullying.

We dressed in pink to show our support.

Mauri tu! Mauri Ora!

We don't bully one another.

Te Pihi has fun together!

Korero mai, Korero atu.

Speak up! Stand together!

We celebrate diversity at our school!

Paparore School values integrity and doing the right thing!

Free School Lunches!

Te Pihi children are enjoying the range of healthy lunches provided by Libelles! They arrive just before lunch time in our special class container and are given out to each child by the teacher and Teacher Aide. If the children can't eat it all, they are encouraged to take them home in their lunch box to finish after school. They are all getting used to trying new and different foods. Which lunch is your favourite so far??

Whole School Water Fun Day

 How lucky were these guys to be rewarded for their awesome work and behaviour throughout Term 1!? 

A range of fun water activities were set up one sunny afternoon and everyone loved it!

2D shape art

We have been learning about 2D shapes in maths. We made pictures with ovals, circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, diamonds and trapeziums.

Easter time in Te Pihi!

We made some Easter crafts this week. We did some art work making patterns on an Easter Bunny shape. We then coloured in some sunglasses to make our Easter Bunnies look cool! We also made an egg basket with coloured card and filled it with shredded paper so we could lay our chocolate Easter eggs inside.

A visit from Austen's guinea pigs

This morning Austen and his mum brought their guinea pigs to visit us.

We got to touch them and some of us got to hold them. They felt soft and fluffy and they were cute! 

And Thomas got a fright because the girl guinea pig had sharp claws!

Nova learnt that some guinea pigs have pink eyes.

April learnt that they like to eat lots of lettuce and grass.

Jackson learnt that they munch loudly!

Thank you Toni and Austen! We enjoyed learning about having a guinea pig for a pet!

I like St Patrick's Day because we can dress up in green. My Mum painted my face. I look good!
