Cross Country

We headed down to the field all excited for our cross country race.  Room 14 had been training everyday and we were ready!  We had a great race, we had to run around the field two times.  Everyone was cheering and clapping for us.  Some of our families were cheering for us too.  We had a fun day!

Ready and waiting for our race

Te Wiki o te Reo Maori

We are on item for whole school assembly and since it is Maori Language week we wanted to share one of our waiata.  He Maramataka is all about the months of the year.  Unfortunately it was raining and assembly was cancelled but we filmed it in class instead!  (Whaea Donna had to use the Youtube video until our one is ready to post)

Farewell Mr Lysaght!

The last day of term was also the last day at CPS for Mr Lysaght.  Mr Lysaght is an awesome member of the Junior team and we're going to miss him!  The Junior team sung the good old Kiwi Classic "Slice of Heaven" at his farewell assembly.  The whole school sung "Take it Easy"

We gave Mr Lysaght heaps of leis!

End of Term Entertainment

Here we are watching Big Hero 6 - we had been studying Community Heroes this term and voted for this cool movie.  We are also enjoying our delicious movie snacks!

Welcome Kortez

Kortez is coming from room 12 to our room in term three.  Welcome Kortez!

Matariki

Matariki, Matariki,
Whiti, whiti mai,
Anei matou, o Mokopuna e.

This is the waiata that we learnt for Matariki.  Koka Kylie wrote it and Whaea Pat sent Matariki and Jada from room 20 to teach it to us.  We performed it at Junior school assembly and we taught it to everybody!  We enjoying singing it so much that we even sing it when we're walking down to the hall.

We won Best Class at Junior Assembly too!

Thank you Feed the Need!

This week we started the "Winter Boost Lunch Programme" from the very generous people at Feed the Need.  Our whole school gets a delicious hot lunch two days a week!  On Tuesday we had a pumpkin/bacon soup with a roll and on Thursday we had beef/vege stew and a roll.  We are so fortunate to be part of this amazing programme!

Gagana Samoa

We had a fantastic Samoan Language week.  Our highlight was the Samoan Independence Day celebrations on Friday.  There were some amazing performances from Tupulaga, other classes and of course us!  The teachers even had to siva with their certificate and ula lole winners, that was fun.  Everybody looked so bright and colourful too.

Talofa room 14!  Congratulations Chrisda!
