ANZAC

On the last week of Term 1 we spent some time learning about the significance of ANZAC Day. We were able to learn lots of new information and understand why we have ANZAC Day every year. We are thankful that all those men and women served in the war to fight for our country! The whole School had an early ANZAC service as ANZAC Day falls during the holidays. Room 1 Made a poppy wreath, some sunset and silhouette art and create a metaphor poem about war that we read out at the service. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.

Duffy Assembly

Jess Pawley come to present our Duffy books to us at our Duffy assembly. She had some amazing wings that she got made based around a character in her novel she wrote. They were amazing and they even opened and closed!

School Kit - Get NZ Writing

Room 1 had lots of fun 'Opening our doors to let another school in' - We shared lots of facts and information about our class and school with our buddy school - Rerewhakaaitu School in Rotorua. We explored metaphors and collaboratively created a Room 1 class metaphor poem, then our individual metaphor poems. We got to erite these on post cards to send to our buddy school. This was super fun and we can not wait to see what our buddy school sends us! Check our School Kit out....

Kawa Of Care - Flipgrid

We have used Flipgrid with Whaea Tania to recap our learning of the Kawa Of Care. It was so much fun and we cannot wait to use Flipgrid again.

Pepeha & Waka

We have been learning our pepeha in preparation for Room 1 being on Taumata. We made pepeha booklets and displayed them on our wall for us to look at whenever we want to practice.







We also have loads of fun making our waka for our classroom during Art. We used symbols to represent ourselves and understand how we are all different but we can learn and grow together as a team.

Why Kawakawa Primary is the BEST School!

Challenges!

We love STEM challenges in Room 1! In these pictures you can see us working together to build the tallest  Lego tower.

Elgregoe!!

Room 1 Loved watching Elgregoe The Magician. He taught us some important messages about bullying. His 5 Key words were Respect, Helpful, Responsible, Trustworthy & Caring. We are going to make sure we remember these key words in Room 1 & demonstrate them at all times. Elgregoe also taught us to use our WITS if we are in a tricky situation - Walk away, Ignore, Talk to a teacher, parent or buddy and STOP it I don't like it. We are already using our WITS!!
