Rooms 3 and 5 studied Body Parts and Senses during Term 3. We created a movie about the importance of our body parts (arms, legs, hands, feet and so on) and senses (hear, smell, taste, touch, see) to connect with each other, to understand ourselves and our world around us and to identify all sorts of wonderfully weird and different things in our environment.
We had fun making our movie and we became really good at talking to the camera.
Anthony accepted the Tidy Kiwi Award on behalf of Room 5 who was this week's recipient because the students keep their space clean and tidy inside and outside their classroom and in the surrounding area outside their classroom.
Congratulations and ano to pai to all our tamariki!
Ano te pai, you can be proud of yourselves.
My name is Lebron and I am Maori. The country I belong to is New Zealand. My mum is Maori but my dad is half Maori and half Cook Island.
Room 5 went to the Auckland Zoo with Room 3 to learn about animal body parts and how animals use them to live, thrive and adapt to their environment.
One of our favourite animals was the lion. There were two male lions and one of them came to look at us through its window enclosure. The bigger lion gave a quiet roar but it was still loud enough for the other animals in the zoo to hear the lion say, "We're here and we are the kings of the zoo jungle. Hear us R-O-A-R!
Jonathan came second in the Junior Speech Finals today. His topic was Restaurants and he gave some good advice on how to behave when you are dining out. Jonathan wrote the speech all by himself and I am sure that you are proud of your efforts and achievements. Tino Pai!

Ano te pai, Eva.
Eva again achieved her maths learning goal. Today, Room 5 students had to count back from any number to solve their subtraction problems up to 100.
Another perfect score by Eva, our budding mathematician.
Ano te pai, Eva!
Eva achieved her maths learning goal which was to count back from any given number up to 100. You scored a perfect mark. I like the way your Mum set your maths up for you.
Pai rawa, Eva AND Mum!
