Room 9 TV Debut!

I hope you all received my letter home today regarding Room 9 making a TV appearance on CTV this Friday. The children will be performing two songs in Maori. This will be live from 10am-11am and then repeated between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm, 9:45 pm and 10:45 pm that day and 12:30 am on Saturday. The children will be required to be here at 9am in full school uniform, no sports gear is required at all on Friday. Please remember to send the permission form back to school tomorrow.
We are all very excited and I can't believe Room 9 will be TV STARS!
Many thanks in advance for your help and support.

Maori Language Week

This week is Maori Language Week, each day this week we are learning something new about Maori Language. The children learnt the parts of the body yesterday and the video above is of them performing the 'Body Song' today in class.

Weather

WOW what a busy first week back. Our topic for the first half of Term 3 is 'Weather'. The children this week have learnt about the water cycle and the different stages this process has. Ask them if they can explain to you what they have learnt.

The Water Cycle song is a good way of remembering this process. Have a listen below.

Information Report Writing

This term we are looking at Information Reports in Written Language. All of the M Team classes are looking at Frogs this week.

Challenge: List one fact you have found out about Frogs before 3pm tomorrow, the best fact from either Room 8, 9 or 10 will get a prize!

Remember to put your name on your fact so I know which fact is yours!

Term 3, Values Assembly

Welcome back for Term 3! We started this morning with our Values Assembly. This term we are having a focus on Life Long Learning, or Perseverance. The children were shown the video below.


I hope you all had a relaxing holiday. Term 3 is bound to be another busy one, bring it on!

Heroes and Villains

WOW! What a day, a busy, fun and exciting day! Well done Room 9, you all looked amazing. So much effort had gone into the costumes and everyone looked fantastic (teachers included)! Nikaylah and Jonathan took out the prizes for best dressed in our class with my personal awards going to Breanna and Samuel, well done! Have a look at the pictures below and decide for yourself. I'm pretty happy with my 1st place for teacher costume (but don't tell the other teachers).

Talia's Prize!

You may remember a few weeks back I posted some information about a competition CTV were running to do with creating a Fire Evacuation Plan for your family, well Talia won it! We had a very exciting afternoon today with the Fire Truck at school. Talia even got a ride in the truck. Congratulations Talia!
