breakfast for whanau

 I hope everyone has enjoyed the first official celebration of Matariki with a long weekend.  I enjoyed whanau time with my son visiting from Wellington. It is always lovely to see him.

Week 9 is upon us already. Oh how time flies when you are having fun and I am having fun with my beautiful class.  I have really got to know them this term with so few interruptions.  Seeing their personalities and sense of humour coming through is great.

Each morning between 8.30am and 8.45am we have toast and      Weet-Bix on offer for the children to come in and eat.  We have a competition running until Friday to name our Breakfast Cafe. 

 'Ngā mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori'.

Our week of learning: Week 8

We have had a busy week in class, with lots of learning happening.  It is great to see the children so engaged in their Project Based Learning and making their presentations of their research of Matariki.  We look forward to sharing the projects with whanau when they are completed.

This week we took part in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Mass.  This was a school mass and our children took part with Room 2 in preparing and taking part during the service.  

Grandma Gail came and spent some time in our class this week (which was great to have her).  She worked with a group of children to make cupcakes to share with the class.  (I am sorry, I forgot to get photos until the end).  I can tell you that they were consumed quickly and thoroughly enjoyed by our tamariki.

Last week, I entered our class into a competition to win a Solar System to decorate.  We were one of 12 classes around New Zealand to be chosen.  Unfortunately not all of us were able to decorate so a group of children took on the task for our class.  I have sent photos away of the decorated Solar System   This is through Qizzle and there are prizes for the winning class. When the voting starts I will share the link with you.

Sunday is the last day to order the school photos and take advantage of the free postage.
