Te Kakano class's March Moments to Remember.

 Here are some memorable moments from the last weeks.



Water Fun afternoon because we have been such great students who have shown our five school values of Excellence/Hiranga, Diversity/Rereketanga, Integrity/Ngakau, Community and Partnership/Porihanga and Caring for the Environment/Kaitiakitanga.




Pirate Day!



We have been learning that originally there were no people in Aotearoa New Zealand. First the Maori explorers arrived in their waka and many hundreds of years later people arrived from England in tall ships. Some pakeha people from England did not obey the law and there were wars. An agreement was written so that life would be fair for both Maori and pakeha. This agreement is remembered every year on Waitangi Day. The Treaty of Waitangi is very important to the people of New Zealand. 

 We read a book called 'The Tree Hut Treaty' and talked about solving problems, agreeing and making promises.
We all agreed on some promises for our class and then signed our class treaty.

Learning in the school pool

 What do we learn in the pool?

Changed, caps on and off we go!

Correct entry using the steps





We learning swimming skills through playing games

Ring-a-ring-a-rosie  . . .




. . . we all fall down!



Heads under and blowing bubbles







Learning swimming skills with the flutter boards.


Straight arms and kicking across the pool

Feet off the ground and away we go!

Well done everyone! 

Becoming confident to float on our backs with the
help of a board 

Look at me!!

We keep trying and don't give up.
We will be able to do it soon.


We hope you liked seeing what we are learning in the pool.
If you did then please leave a comment.

Term 4 Week 9 - Terrific Tuesday Times

 Today we had a fun filled day with lots of exciting activities.

Football Festival

First we all went outside to participate in mini football games with Te Pihi. The children were soccer stars! 




Marshmallow Snowmen

After a great run around at football, we indulged in a sugary treat. The children built their own snowmen using tasty treats. Aren't they all gorgeous?


Treats from Preet

We were very spoilt today by Preet and his whanau. Each student received a goody bag with lots of yummy treats and some bubbles. After investigating the goody bag (and of course getting very excited about the contents) we set off outside to see who can blow the biggest bubble.  
Thank you Preet and Whanau!
