Samoan Day

Last week was Samoan language week, Room 22 is lucky enough to have lots of children with Samoan heritage and enthusiasm was high for all our students.

Thank you to our generous parent for sharing her knowledge with the children and bringing in some Samoan clothes for the children to try.

We've been writing the story of Sina and the Eel, a traditional Samoan tale, that explains how we came to have coconuts.
Mrs Sorby thought it was a good idea for us all to try coconut, so we had to decide how to break it.
One clever student thought up the idea of breaking it on a rock, so we all had fun breaking it and then tasting it afterwards.
We were not all that enthusiastic about drinking the milk, but were all brave enough to eat the
coconut.

News from Outer Space

One of our superstars has an Aunty that works in a museum in Dunedin and was able to get a signed picture of an astronaut.  We did some investigating and found out that Rex Walheim has been to the space station three times.

Super Reading

One of our superstars read a book to us today;  Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Old School.  Thanks for reading to us, reading out loud to an audience helps us to practice expression and punctuation.

Pink Shirt Day

Pink Shirt Day is this Friday - you can wear anything pink - dresses, skirts, pants. It is NOT a mufti day and wearing a t shirt with a little pink in it is not acceptable. We are not asking for money.      Visit for more info: https://www.pinkshirtday.org.nz/

Superhero Me

Look how Super we were as our favourite heroes.

Cross Country

We had so much fun running the cross country on Tuesday, it was only the second day back so we had heaps of energy to burn on the one lap course around the school.  Here we are listening to the instructions before we go.

On your marks girls (it's a bit nerve racking on the start line!)

We're so fast it's a blur

Here we come round the corner to the finish line

Now it's the boys turn

We're so proud of you room 22, what an awesome effort!
