Another great Syndicate Assembly!

On Friday Room 14 hosted our syndicate assembly. Different classes shared art and writing they had done. Room 14 shared the Māori language they have been learning and introduced themselves in Te Reo.

Congratulations to Sorsha and Roman for receiving certificates for their efforts in the classroom.

Well done Roman for showing Respect to your classmates.
'Mahi pai!' Sorsha for making a positive start to your learning in Room 3

Music Lessons with Mrs Barlow

We had a blast in our music lesson with Mrs Barlow. 
We listened to traditional Tongan music and talked about how music from our own culture is really important to our sense of identity and makes us feel like we belong.

Then we got to try some different instruments and play along with the music. We sounded fantastic!

Lookin' Good

Cooper was practising his floating with a help of a pool noodle this week. This helps to build up confidence to float on your belly and practise the kicking skills needed for freestyle swimming.
Great work Cooper!

Learning The Backstroke

Amanda was so excited to learn how to do the backstroke in swimming today. She confidently lay back in the water and held onto a flutter board for support. She made big backwards arm circles as she kicked her way across the pool. Keep up the great work Amanda!
