Pasifika Showcase 2015

It has been a lot of hard work and many many hours learning and practising our songs and dance for this year's Pasifika Showcase. The year 6s have been focussing on the beautiful island of Samoa. We have enjoyed learning about their culture and celebrated this last Friday with singing Samoa's national anthem and an upbeat song called Pe a e siva. We wowed the crowd with an amazing dance called La'u Samoa - My Samoa, taught by two awesome ladies from our community, Delsa and Pravina. Our awesome costumes were made by a fabulous mum of our school. Everyone did a fantastic job on the day and had lots of fun...now we can relax!

Term One Swimming 2015

This term, we have been very fortunate to take part in swimming lessons at Papatoetoe Pools, coached by qualified swimming coaches. For the last 5 weeks, we have learnt many swimming skills, gained a lot of confidence in the water and most of all have had lots of fun!

Year 6 CHORES Fundraiser

As part of our Y6 Camp fundraising, our Y6 students have been very busy this term doing chores (over and above the normal) at home to raise as much pocket money as they can. Many students have done a fabulous job while all their efforts have contributed greatly to their camp kitty.

The five students that have raised the most in the year group are pictured below and from Rm 26 (2nd from the right), we have our fantastic, hardworking and enthusiastic, Anna Tran!

Congratulations and well done to all - you have done Year 6 students and teachers, proud.

Welcome to Room 26 in 2015

Welcome to room 26:

In room 26 we have 26 students and a wonderful teacher called Mrs Sila. In our class there is a friendly new student from Fiji called Rhea and she is really kind and helpful.

This term value is being PCS - polite, considerate and sensible - always using our manners.

We have got a lot of things lined up this term including swimming, cricket and play ball zones. We also have many talented students joining choir and orchestra this year. In term one, we are looking forward to studying all about our Pacific neighbour, Samoa. To celebrate our diverse cultures, we will be holding another Pasifika Showcase at the end of the term. We can't wait!

The Year 6s are also looking forward to their camp at the end of the year, so there will be lots of fundraising to do!

Watch this space for all that Room 26 are up to this year. We hope to make and share many memories of our final year at Primary and post lots of our work and activities. Enjoy the ride!
