Athletics

We had an amazing time at our 2015 Athletics held at the Massey Track.  We were supported by our teachers and lots of Mums and Dads!  A special thanks to all the Mums and Dads who helped us in our rotations - we couldn't have had such a successful day without your support!

Pet Day Success

What a wonderful morning for all our learners!  We had horses, cats, dogs, goats and even chickens.  Here are some photos of our Te Pihinga whanau sharing in the wonderful gifts of Pets.

Term 4 Inquiry

We can't wait to start our new inquiry this term...during this learning we will: Understand that God gives us gifts, and it is our responsibility to share them. This is important because: We are called to use our special abilities humbly for the good of all. AND Develop an understanding of what gives people mana and how these qualities are seen in the lives of Blessed Catherine McAuley, Mary Mackillop and Suzanne Aubert. This is important so we can recognise that the saintliness of ordinary people can inspire us and lead us to God. Watch this space to see how our learning grows!

Term 4 Inquiry

Responsibility

In Te Pihinga Team we are kind and respectful to ourselves, each other and the environment. Thanks Ella for tidying up after others when they forget to. We really value your contributions!

Term 3 Inquiry

We have been learning about Animals. We learnt that certain animals can be grouped or classified depending on their features. Here are some of the posters we made to show our learning.

Prayer Time

Now we have new learners in our room, we have been reviewing what it means to be reverent during prayer time. We know by being still and quiet we can talk and listen to God. We love our special time with God each day.

Word Power

We have been working hard to learn to spell lots of word that we can use in our writing. Aren't we clever!

A birthday celebration

August and September have been busy months for birthdays.  In Room 9 we were lucky to have Paulina celebrate hers with our class with a beautiful chocolate cake made by her Mum.  It is great to share these special occasions with our friends as a way of showing we care about them.

Thank you Patty for your yummy cake! we love birthdays.

Saints for the week

This week in gathering we celebrated these lovely learners who have been showing the value of service. Can you spot some of our Te Pihinga team learners...
