This week for waste heroes some of the children created a music video about protecting our water and environment. They went through a whole process to get to the finished product. Together the children wrote and recorded their song, created props, and costumes as well as choreographing dances and actions. Ka pai to all the children involved!
We wanted to support families in the community who do not have enough money to buy good food. The children prepared a video to tell everyone about the plan.
We all brought non-perishable items, like food, toothbrushes, and soap – to donate to Foodbank. Children also prepared a prayer time together to give thanks and to help us remember those in need. Here is a video about the day.
This term Year 7 & 8s have started looking at how democratic elections work focusing especially on New Zealand.
A group of Year 6 students have been looking after the feijoa tree at school!
Last week was Cook Island Language week. Takere’s family came into school to share some of their Cook Island culture with his classmates. Thank you also for the drum lesson and for giving the school a set of drums.
Other classes learnt some Cook Island Language and cultures and what makes the Cook Islands a special country.
Congratulations to Oliver, Valentina, Ella and Petra for being caring, respectful, safe & your best!
Potiki has had the most happening busy couple of weeks. The children are learning to manage self and be resilient as they go for swimming and weekly gymnastics. Our Potiki classroom transforms into a gym with equipment and mat all over on Fridays. Students had a visit from Waste Hero and they learned all about recycling. Our Cook Island’s Language Week celebrations had us all dancing to the rhythm of drums. Some children also planted ferns near the playground to celebrate Matariki. We will nurture these plants and thank god for our lovely mother earth.
