Pukeko Room have been comparing Chinese and Maori Legends

Maori legend "Rangi and Papatuanuku" compared with Chinese legend "Pangu".

Pukeko Room have been practising their 'ch' words this week

A caterpillar visited our class on Wednesday and we put it on our "ch" table because it changes (from an egg to a tiny caterpillar that chews and munches to a bigger caterpillar to a chrysalis to a butterfly.
We also had cherries, chalk, cheese, chocolate, chair, cheetah, Chinese lady, chain, cheeky chimp and a chirpy chick,
We also noticed that the words Chris and chrysalis have a ch but they make a "ck/k/c sound".

Dear Parents/Caregivers

Based the weather forecast for tomorrow we decided to cancel the Fun, Jump and Throw Day. We will be looking for a fine day in Term 2. No Mufti tomorrow. It will be school as normal.
We would like to invite all our parents to bring along a packed lunch and have a picnic with your child.

Have a great Easter Holiday!

Chromebooks

We've had very excited children today when we handed out the chromebooks. All the children in the Kea and Hoiho Rooms now have their own computers and we will be able to fully implement our 1:1 digital immersion programme from now on. Well done and thank you to all our parents for your support!
