Duffy Theatre performs at Pt England School.

We were lucky to have the Duffy Show come to our school to perform. Did you know that the Duffy Theatre has been performing for over 25 years and it's a brand new show every year!! The shows message emphasizes, that it's to cool to read and cool to achieve. Our focus school wide theme is "Cherish our Treasures" Tiaki Taonga. Books are a valuable treasure, because it helps us learn new things like new words, instills the joy of reading and makes stronger connections with our families. Thank you Duffy Theatre for a very entertaining and enjoyable show.

Our Friday Clubs with Team 2.

Welcome to Room 25's first blog post for 2021. Every Friday is Clubs Day in Team 2. All classrooms in our Team 2 space are divided into four groups - board games/activities with Ms Teleso, gardening/art with Miss Davis, blogging with Mrs Carter and cooking with Ms Gaston. We get to experience different activites and have lots fun. Later on, we rotate and change and get to try something new. Here are some photos taken on the day. Joelle and Olivia helping out with cleaning our outside area. Also lending a helping hand are McKayla and Tevita. Sia, Pita, Aie Sorn and Corenilias all tidying up the garden and getting into the dirt. Semisi and his friend Suliano like playing with the dinosaurs. Deizhan loves dinosaurs and he can name every dinosaur, that's impressive. Deizhan and Koloti they have both creatively built, a dinosaur enclosure. Evoron enjoys building with lego. Ema and Taniela playing a game of Snakes and Ladders.

Healthy School Lunches Programme.

Today the whole school was supplied free lunches, funded by the NZ Government. This is a healthy school lunches programme which is continual thoroughout the year. We are very thankful to be part of it as with our neighbouring schools, in the Manaiakalani cluster. Ka Ora, Ka Ako is about being healthy and well in order to be in a good place to learn. Savannah, Ratai, Taylor and Jahnaeyah all tucking into healthy lunch of wraps, chopped carrot and a blueberry muffin. Our friends Islay-May and Ema enjoying their lunches too.

Film Festival 2020 - Helping Hands.

 

We all like to do our part to help each other. There are several things such as helping our friends with a learning activity they find hard to complete, putting away our writing books and pencils into our trays, making sure all the garden equipment is put back to its right place and tidying our classroom to make it look presentable and ready for the next day. By doing our part and working together it makes ourselves proud and also taking responsibilities for looking after our things and space.

Learning at home with our learning packs.

We are so excited to receive our learning packs to work on at home. Thank you to the Ministry of Education for providing the packs for us all.

Friday Clubs.

In Team 2 there are four different clubs.  Mrs Carter - Engage, Miss Davis - Cooking, Ms Teleso - Culture Club, and Ms Gatson - Blogging.  This week we were lucky to have more time at our clubs as there was no whole school assembly.  Team 4 are on their final day of camp.

The Culture Club looked at how traditional tapa cloth is made. The name tapa is a general term for barkcloth, with each country having its own specific term. The making of tapa varies according to the country of origin, but generally the production follows the same process.

Designs are either printed or painted on free-hand.  Dyes come from the berries. leaves and bark of a range of plants.
