Swimming with the Blazing Saints

Talofa Lava,
Rain doesn't stop us from learning! Even though the rain was pouring down today, we had swimming. Today we learnt how to glide and streamline without using a flutter board. Thank you to the Blazing Saints for helping us. We had so much fun!

The Brain

Kia Ora Whanau, 
This term we have been learning about 'The Brain'. Today, we decided to plan our ideas with words to help us write sentences about the brain.
Check out some of our writing.

House Sports Day

Ni hao family and friends,

Thank you to Whaea Lois and the House Captains for organising such a successful event. We started the day with Zumba with Mrs Sagote. We really enjoyed it and then ended at mini games where we had to use big balls and small balls. 

Thank you to Alfred and his buddy for helping us. You both did an awesome job. 

Here is a video of our fun sports day. 

Duffy Role Model

Hello family and friends, 

Our Duffy Role Model was Brodie Kane. She spoke to the children about how awesome reading is and how important it is to read. Everyone had to decorate their duffy box with their branding name. Thank you to the Blazing Saints for helping us with our box.

Congratulation to The Polynesian Pythons for their cool design. We thought you deserved to win. Well done!

Congratulation to Dalcee for receiving the Duffy Certificate!
