Welcome to Term 4.

 

 

We welcomed Term 4 by celebrating Diwali (the Hindu festival of lights). Room 24 enjoyed reading a book about Diwali, made Rangoli art and also made a Indian milk sweet.
Yummy! says Timothy.

Creatures Great and Small.

We had so much fun this term, learning about Creatures Great and Small. Room 24 chose their own animals of interest to research on. They came up with their questions and found information through the books in the library, internet and from others. Tino Pai Rm 24  biologist, I enjoyed reading your charts and information books.

Week 4 already !!

Time flies so fast and the students have been settling in very well. They hosted the whanau assembly last Wednesday and did an amazing job. They sang Purea nei and the whanau enjoyed their special waiata. Here are the lyrics to the song :

Purea nei e te hau Horoia e te ua Whitiwhitia e te raMahea ake nga poraruraruMakere ana nga here.	Scattered by the wind washed by the rain and transformed by the sun, all doubts are swept away and all restrains are cast down.
E rere wairua, e rere Ki nga ao o te rangi Whitiwhitia e te ra Mahea ake nga poraruraru Makere ana nga here, Makere ana nga here.	Fly O free spirit, fly to the clouds in the heavens, transformed by the sun, with all doubts swept away and all restrains cast down.Yes, all restrains are cast down.

Enjoy singing with your whanau this week and have a great weekend room 24.
