Grandparents Mass

On Friday 24th August 2018 we celebrated Grandparents Mass with our grandparents, family/whanau and the whole school. We first went to mass to celebrate with Father Bernard Kyle, who blessed our dear Grandparent with a blessing and we sung a special song to them. When mass was finished our PTA team prepared a treat for us. There was lots of sweet and coffee/tea to sip on. By the time the that all the food was finished it was then time to perform some dances for our audience. The groups that performed were the Sheridan Kapa Haka, Choir, Tap dancing, Ukulele and Irish Dancing. That was a joyful day that we would always remember. We are blessed to have such special people in our lives.

M&M Challange

Last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we did the M&M challenge. The class got into groups with one leader in each group. Miss Down gave us some M&M’s and we had to count how many we had and next figured how much M&M’s our group had. After we found out how many M&M’s we all had many people realised that some people had a very small amount of M&M’s while others had about 50. The next thing we did was counting how much of red we had then blue then yellow until we had finished, the colours we had. When we did everything Miss Down told us to share all the M&M’s equally with our group and everyone in the class got 41 M&M’s each! We have put our information on a poster.

Afio Mai to Samoan language Week

The cultural leaders opened the week with their national costume and dance.

In room 6 we have been exploring the Samoan Cultural with general facts. We searched for our fact card around the room and collected information for our Jigsaw Reading Hunt.



Next our Samoan experts in class gave us a lesson on greetings and phrases in Samoan.

Then we moved onto counting to ten in Samoan for math before finishing our math session with a clapping game in Samoan.

My Mother

To My Mother

 MY HAND PRINT

Here is my hand print,

 Five Fingers in all,

 Outside they are short,

but the middle is tall,

You will find them on windows,

you can find them on the wall

they will make a big mess 

for something so small.

one day  I will grow 

and leave them no more my hand prints will be missed

of that I am sure

so here is one now

that you can't wipe away 

my present to you

this Mothers day.
