Term 2 - WEEK 6 - June 9th - June 13th

Kia ora, hallo, bonjour, talofa....


Congrats to our SUPER SHARP 7 children - SHARP WINNERS FOR WEEK 4 were: Thimira, Mitchell & Sam - for showing respect towards their classmates with compliments. 
Bella for the same but also for a big improvement in getting on with her work. 
  Yay! Well done to those SUPER SHARP children!
The SHARP student for week 5 will be for building others up - I have been working with the children about speaking nicely to each other. To give compliments & learning to lose gracefully. We have done lots of talking about helping each other out!!
As a class we have had some awesome discussion about this - we have had a few incidents happen which have stemmed from name calling - which has then built into something bigger. I have also talked to the class about if you see or hear something inappropriate they must tell an adult.
Another fabulous week over & out. We had a gorgeous day on Wednesday (being Thimira's last day). I felt so proud of Room 7 - b4 we ate the shared lunch the children were sitting in a big circle. We went around the circle & each child said something that they liked about Thimira or a fun memory. They all spoke very well & so kindly. When it had gone full circle and back to Thimira this is what he said "I LIKE ROOM 7 BECAUSE THEY ALL INCLUDED ME" ahhhh talk about nearly tears. Here are some pics of a lovely shared lunch & a fun day with Thimira (oh & also for my birthday). THANK YOU for my lovely gifts & special cards that your children gave me.
See you again Thimira - King for the day!

Birthday lady & farewell boy =)

Douglas our mate popped in to say happy b'day - Room 7 showed Douglas how they are just awesome at JUST DANCE!

NO I WASN'T PINCHING A CHIP.......having lunch with our SHARP winner - Mitchell - who chose fish n chips for his SHARP treat. Tahirih having a laugh with us.

Good on you Mitchell.



I must say it was really neat to sit and have lunch with a group of students - such a different/relaxed time & conversations.
