Talofa, Point England Kindergarten!

We were so lucky that Point England Kindergarten were able to join us at our school assembly yesterday to celebrate Samoan Language Week. The beautiful tamaiti sang O Le Pepe and other traditional songs at this special event to share with us what they have been learning.

A week in motion

The force has been strong in Room 11 ... we have been on the move a lot this week!  As well as enjoying moving it through the water at swimming, we have had a very busy and exciting week moving it at the park after swimming, moving it at assembly when we all performed our Fiafia items for the rest of the school, and moving it around the bike track this afternoon.  The wheels were in motion at the end of our week in motion.

Digital Licence Assembly

So much excitement finding out about New Zealand's Digital Licence at our special assembly today! This online quiz has been developed for Year 8 and 9 students throughout New Zealand to make using the internet positive, constructive and enjoyable. Guests from Google NZ, the Alannah and Madeline Foundation and Netsafe were there as Dominic Bowden hosted a competition between teams of Year 8 students to check it out. The buzzers could hardly keep up with all their Cybersmart thinking!

A Duffy Role Model Assembly

On Wednesday Filipe Manu and Madison Nonoa visited Point England to share how reading has played an important role in their lives.  As well as being awesome readers, both Filipe and Madison are successful opera singers.  Check out their amazing voices!

We are so lucky that Filipe and Madison were able to visit us.  It was just as exciting when we returned to class to be given our Duffy books for this term.  What is your favourite book?

We are The Generals!

Congratulations to this amazing team of young people from Team 4 who were awarded top points for being so generally awesome, responsible and fabulous at our Year 5 and 6 camp!
