You know.....

When you are watching t.v next time? why don't you think about how it matches with school??????

We are learning about narrative writing aren't we? so if you are watching Spongebob...who is the hero and villain? and what is their conflict?
or
If you are watching Phineas and Ferb...who are the main characters....what are their conflicts and each episode should have a climax and resolution....what are they? there is learning in the whole world around you...just think about it and bring your ideas to school...

Can't wait to hear them...

Hi

Today is a great day!

Marae trip

Our trip to Awataha marae is approaching in the next few weeks. Keep the permission forms rolling in. Also there is the option of 3 payments of 5 dollars instead of the 15 all at once. Most importantly because this trip is out of our local community we need the permission forms in or the child cannot go on our trip :(

Week 4

A huge well done to our week 4 certificate earners:

Duffy - Jonty and Darzell for great work with reading.

Special certificates - Tavita and Sophia, both have an excellent attitude towards their learning!

Great work children. Keep doing these great things!!

Week 2

Well done to our first certificate winners:

Duffy - Leimoana and Maynian

Special Certificates - Nathaniel and Daley

Keep up the great work!

Treaty

We have been learning about the Treaty of Waitangi. We learnt that a treaty is an important document and it is used when we need to make agreements and promises between two groups. Like the Maori and the Pakeha. We made our own treaty:
