Perseverance Assembly

Kakano 2 and 3 led an assembly about perseverance. 

We had a lot of fun and did a great job. We really loved watching everyone try our bim bum biddy song - it took a lot of perseverance to learn. A few kids deserve extra special mentions. Keely, Thomas, Hayden and Zoe jumped in at the last minute to cover part for people who were away. You were amazing and so cool, calm and collected. You really are good at staying in the green!

Unfortunately, Mrs Ts camera did not play nicely so we missed quite a few shots but we took some memory shots after the assembly. These kids are so funny - you can see so much personality! The real action photos at the bottom were taken by Mrs Ts trusty assistant, Tirama. Thanks Tirama! Miss Ryan also managed to grab a video of our bim bum biddy song - we'll post that soon!

Thank you to the family and friends who came to support us on Friday. We have another assembly this Friday! Everyone gets another opportunity to see us shine.

Play and Golden Time Fun

What a great time we've had this week playing in the morning. We are loving building things with lego, playing snakes and ladders, and kicking the balls around outside.

For Golden Time we played balloon tennis. The giggles and screams of delight were plentiful. What a fun way to practice our hand/eye coordination skills and get some exercise (lots of us got really sweaty) without even realising it!

The noise was much louder as the fun continued!

Term 2 Week 3

This week is Bully Free NZ week. We are going to be focussing on what it means to be a good friend. We will look at the social, emotional, and physical ways that we can show kindness and care for each other. 

Here is a link to a great resource to help you talk about being a kind friend http://www.oatthegoat.co.nz/ 

Our Learning this week:
