Cricket Skills

On Friday we were able to try out cricket thanks to some great coaches from the Ellerslie Club and some of our Year 7/8 friends.  We were able to try batting, bowling and fielding skills in a series of rotations.  We had a lot of fun trying out cricket.  Check out some of what we did:

Niuean Language Week

To celebrate Niuean Language Week, at assembly on Friday the Niuean group put on a great performance.  Hendrix from Room 19 was involved and did an amazing job on stage.  All the dancers had put in time over the school holidays with their practices and they performed their hearts out on Friday.

Fakaaue lahi for such an amazing performance!

Kiwisport Football

This term for Kiwisport we are learning how to play Football.  In our first session we learnt about dribbling the ball.  It was hard for us to learn the difference between a kick and a dribble but we made some great progress.  We played a game called Rob the Nest which helped us practice our dribbling.

We are looking forward to our next session with our Football coach next week!

Welcome Aurora

Room 19 welcomed Aurora into our class at the end of last week.  She started her school journey well by receiving a certificate at team assembly on Friday.

Aye Myat also received a certificate from Room 19 for listening and following instructions quickly.  Here are Aye Myat and Aurora after receiving their certificates from Miss George.  Well done girls.

Term 4 - SURVIVORS

Welcome back to Term 4, which will be an exciting term in Room 19.  All our learners are really looking forward to the Zoo Trip in week 3 - not long to go now!  Our immersion assembly item today focused on this zoo trip and is great viewing.

We are really looking forward to the last term of 2015 and the learning that will occur - we hope you enjoy this journey with us!

Hendrix wins a trophy!

On Friday, Hendrix was presented with two trophies at assembly for his outstanding play at rugby league.  Room 19 were super excited about this and we wrote about it when we got back to class.

Cross Country 2015

Yesterday we had the Pt England School Cross Country for 2015.  After weeks of practice it was great to have the event.  Learners wore house colours for the race and the weather gods shined on us after a fairly wet morning.  This made the course pretty muddy, which just added to the fun.

 Thanks to Miss Tumahai for these great photos.  We were all very tired after our race but did an amazing job!  We wrote about the race when we got back to class.
