Team 3 Fun Day

 Last week, the students of Team 3 had a very fun day while at school. We had some yummy popcorn, wore our pyjamas, and watched a funny movie in the morning. During the middle block, we did some dancing and painting and after lunch we had fun singing some of our favourite songs. 

Pirate Animation

 During term 2, we were learning about Computational Thinking and in our literacy class we were learning about pirates. We discovered that pirates had to do a lot of computational thinking (without computers!) in order to create and follow their treasure maps. Check out this collaborative Google Slides animation we made as a literacy class reciting the poem "Pirates" by Pauline Cartwright.

Encanto Day

 When we arrived at school today, the teachers of Team 3 had a special surprise for us! We were having an "Encanto Day." Our teachers were all dressed up like the characters from the movie and we had lots of fun expereiences all day long. Check out this amazing video that the teachers made to highlight our day.

Farewell, Mrs Adina

 Today, the students of Team 3 had a farewell assembly for Mrs. Adina, who was able to join us via Google Meet for the assembly. We had a lovely farewell for her, led by some of the Room 20 students who were in her class this year. We also shared with her this video put together by the Team 3 teachers and the students of Room 21. Then, we put on an encore performance of our Prizegiving dance just for her. 

Mrs. Adina, we wish you all the best in the future! We will miss you!

2021 Prizegiving

This has been one crazy, yet amazing year, but we ended it with style. The Covid restrictions didn't stop the Pt England whanau from having a lovely Prizegiving. We were able to socially distance in Te Kapua to hold our very first livestreamed Prizegiving. We are so proud of all the students who are still at home and those here with us back at school for the hard work and dedication they have put into their learning this year.

Team 4 Immersion Assembly

Term 4 has officially started and we are still in Covid-19 Level 3 here in Auckland, NZ. This means that we are continuing to distance learn from home. We also had to have our Immersion Assembly onl ine.  Our theme this term is "Tā tātou Kōrero, Tā tātou Kōwhiringa: Our Voice, Our Choice."

The students of Team 3 are going to be exploring the differences between wants and needs. We will also be looking at how our choices affect the world around us. Check out the video created by the team 3 teachers for our school immersion assembly.

Life Ed & Harold

 This week, the students of Room 21 spent some time in the Life Ed Caravan with Mrs Park and our favourite giraffe Harold. We learnt all about our emotions and how to be a leader instead of a bossy person. 

Term 3 Immersion Assembly

This term, we are focusing on Physical Education and Health. Our theme is Healthy Me, Healthy You. We are very excited to prepare for our school Cross Country race this term as we work on our fitness and healthy eating. We are also excited to get to see our old friend Harold in the Life Education caravan in a few weeks.
