Term 2: Transformers

Our theme for Term 2 is “Transformers”.

We will be focussing on different aspects of performing arts, more specifically drama, but we will look into song and dance as well. It is going to be a fun term of learning for us. It is also an opportunity for us to continue on with our MITEY learning – talking about how we can use drama to express ourselves and our emotions. Get ready for a creative and art-filled term!

Kelly Sports Term 1 – Softball

This term for Kelly Sports, we have been learning skills for Softball. We have had so much fun learning how to throw, how to catch, and how to hit the ball properly. Just in time for our annual Softball tournament!

A huge thank you to Coach Molly and Coach Sam for all of their help. We appreciate all your hard word and thank you for all of the learning and fun!

End of the 2023 Season

Room 6 had heaps of fun on our last full day of school. Our teachers planned some fun activities and games, and even printed out certificates that had photos of us from the start of the year to the end. What a fun day!

And with that brings the end to the Room 6 2023 season…

We will miss you all Room 6!

Manaiakalani Film Festival – 4for$20

The cost of living has been on the rise lately. Gone are the days that our families could buy meals to feed us for under $10, let alone $20. Just to think that ten years ago, you could buy a loaf of bread and 2 litre milk from the dairy with a $5 note, AND have change to buy lollies. Room 6 has been working hard to find recipes that can feed families of four, and stays within a $20 budget.

Enjoy! Please leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment.

Myanmar Language Week

An email was sent out to Mr Burt about having a Myanmar Language Week after seeing all of our Pasifika celebrate their cultures. Well done to Nu Nu and Zohaidah who showed courage and pride for their culture as they performed on stage this morning. You spoke and danced beautifully girls!

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

This week marks the 51st Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. We celebrated it by learning about how this milestone came about it in class, singing different waiata, and enjoying a performance by our Kapa Haka group at School Assembly.

Well done to Anne Marie, Motu, Miriama and Justin who were in the performance. Check out Anne Marie’s solo at the performance.
