Pt England Picnic

 

We have had such an exciting week at Pt England school this week! Yesterday we had Jacinda Ardern the Prime Minister of New Zealand come and have lunch with us and today we were able to have our Pt England School Picnic!

We started the day by walking down to the beach in our classes and then were able to swim, play sport, dance, bike ride and so many other fun activities! Room Ten had an amazing day at the picnic it is definitely one of our favourite events that we look forward to each year.

 

We hope to share some of our writing about this next week when we are back at school learning in the classroom. Please enjoy the selection of pictures from today that we decided to share. 

Duffy Show

Today we were lucky enough to have the Duffy Theatre show at school. The show today was about Duffy and his cousin being in lockdown and trying to do their school work online while also being kind to their whanau and each other. This was relatable to us as it was something that we were really good at doing last year with having to go in and out of lockdowns and start remote learning each time. 

We loved being able to watch this show and learning how to be kind to others and to our devices at home. The actors were really great and we had an amazing time. We will share some more of our highlights next week. 

Thank-you Duffy!

Our Identity

This week we started our Te Reo Māori classes with Whaea Francis. During our session this week we talked about identity and who we are. We talked about our cultures and how each of us is unique and different. Each of us has different things that are important to us and our whanau. During our session we had to opportunity to draw things that show our identity and who we are. We discovered that our identity can change and that our identity is special and unique to us. Check out some of our photos. 



When we went back to class in the afternoon we continued on with this activity using our chromebooks. We had a cyber smart lesson on how to find free to use images that link to our identity. We will share some of these once we have finished them. 

Duffy Assembly

Yesterday we had a Duffy Assembly at school it was so fun and entertaining. We had three young ladies come and talk to us about Duffy and his adventures. We sang the Duffy song which we also learnt in sign language this year. Then we watched a play about how to be kind to others at school and to make sure that we are including everyone at school. It made us all think about choosing our words and actions carefully before we use and show them to others. Here are some photos from the show.



During class today we have started our recounts about the assembly so we look forward to sharing these on our class blog soon. Watch this space!
