PENN: School Lunches!

 This term, the students at Pt England have been blessed to be part of the government funded school lunch program. Everyday, each student receives one of 500+ lunches delivered to our school, sorted and then brought to our classrooms on large bread trays. Students wait in anticipation before opening their lunch box to see what they will be having each day. For many students at PES, each day there is a new surprise in their lunch box.

Students in Room 21 have been learning about trying new things with a proper try. We always take 4-5 "McDonald's sized bites" before determining whether or not we like something. We also always try our main course before we enjoy our piece of fruit/veggies and yogurt/muffin.  

Check out our video below to see what lunch looks like in Room 21 and to hear some of our favourite things that we have had for the first time. 

Film Festival 2020

This year, the students in Room 1 decided to recreate one of their favourite parody videos from YouTube. We sure had some fun filming our movie and trying to get our singing to line up with the actual music was a bit difficult at first. We hope you enjoy our movie, "A Day in the Life."

Thanks for watching! We love hearing from our blog readers, so please leave us a comment.

Everyday Theatre Workshop

 Today, Room 1 had an amazing opportunity to hang out with "Soy Sauce" from Everyday Theatre. She walked us through a fun interactive production game. Due to the Covid restrictions, the theatre group did a marvellous job adapting their script and follow up tasks to provide a fun and informative session. The name of the production was "The Family Game Reloaded." We learnt about six different characters that surrounded the day to day life story of a family going through some hard times. We were able to help the family come up with ways to help their situation and we had a fun day as a class doing so. 

Serving Others During the Lockdown

As our country is back in level 3 lockdown, the need around our community continues to grow. I was so happy to receive a text from Antzel's mum asking for him to be excused from his Te Reo Class Google Meet earlier this week because he was out delivering food parcels. What a great thing to be doing Antzel! We are so proud of you!

HELPING PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY

Today I helped my mum and poppy to deliver food boxes to families who are in need of food. I made sure I wore my mask, my gloves and also kept my distance. 

I feel very happy, seeing families happy when the got the food boxes, especially the children. It is a blessing to help others. Thanks to those who are involved with helping families.
