PENN MOVIE

Room 26 have been discussing the fantastic opportunities we have here at Pt England School. This would not have been possible if it had not been for the supportive staff at Pt England and the wider community. Our PENN movie is snapshots of us and all the learning we have done so far.

New Class

A Temporary Move

Our class room is leaking, so we have moved temporarily to Room 21.

We would like to thank Mrs Ta le'a and Room 3 for moving our furniture it was a big job.  

Minus 5 Mondays

Minus 5 Mondays is all about healthy lunches and in Room 26 today I was so happy to see so many students with healthy options in their lunch boxes.

We took a photo of some things that we do not bring to school.

Orange chips and coloured drinks are a NO NO!

Sandwiches, fruit, yoghurt, nuts and raisins. Remember to bring a water bottle to school everyday. 

Team 2 2017

This is the new Team 2.

This morning we met in Room 24 for our team 2 assembly we said our school pray and sang a waiata. Miss Nalder talked about lots of things such as Parent/teacher meeting this Wednesday, don't forget we finish school at 12.30. Minus 5 Mondays, where we bring a sugar free lunch (a healthy lunch) to school. If you bring a sugar free lunch on Mondays your name will go into a draw for a prize.

Ready Set Go!

We had our first Kiwi Sports session this morning. Our focus this morning was balancing. Coach Allen had us balancing on 1 leg, 2 hands 1 leg, 1 hand 1 leg it was so funny and we all found out the balancing is really hard to do. We balanced bean bags on our heads and had relay races, it was so much.

Inquiry 2017

Oh No !

This is what we saw when we came back from swimming the other day.

The water was green and it smelt very bad. There was rubbish in the water, cans, bottles

plastic bags. 

What can we do?

Swimming 2017

Our first swimming lesson at the Glen Innes Pools.

On Thursdays afternoon we walked down to the pools. The students were so excited

about their first swimming lesson. I was so impressed with the students and how confident they are in the water. We have 3 instructors keen and ready to take on Room 26.

  

Duffy Show

This morning we went to the hall to watch the Duffy Show.

Moana the Sea

Duffy and SuperGlobal Girl 

Today we had the privilege of being entertained by the Duffy Theatre. As Duffy and Super Global Girl traveled through countries to fight climate change the message was very similar to our inquiry of Te Taiao o Tāmaki. In Room 26 we are helping fight global change by keeping our environment clean by picking up rubbish at our school.   

Inquiry Term 1 2017

Kiatīakitanga i nga wā kātoa

Let's work together to make the environment a clean place for us and for our future.

Chip Sandwiches

This morning we made chip sandwiches. 

Ms Tumahai told us that her favourite sandwich is marmite and chip. Some of us have not had that before so Ms Tumahai bought some bread, marmite and chips so we could all try it. We made our own sandwich and sat on the deck and ate it. Some of us thought it was yummy and nice.

We drew pictures of our marmite and chip sandwiches on our ipads.

Well Done Te Ao

This weeks Duffy Award went to Te Ao.

Well done Te Ao you have had a great start to the year keep up the good work.
