Swimming.

Room 25 have started our swimming lessons.

We go to the Papatoetoe pools where we have instructors to teach us. They show us how to be safe and confident in the water as well as how to have fun.

Mr McAleer tells us that swimming is the best fitness we can do and our goal should be to still be swimming at 90.

Week 3

We are now into week 3 and have had our first school assembly. The options have started and many of us are joining a sports team or taking up an art option.

Mr McAleer has started to read 'Frankenstein' to the Piwakawaka [Year 4] team. Some of the boys think it is about zombies !

On Wednesday at 6pm we have 'Meet The Teacher'. Our teachers will be talking about what we will  be doing this year and what they expect from us. They will speak about the new classrooms; they are called an 'Innovative Learning Environment' [ILE]. We hope lots of our parents / caregivers will come along to hear what is happening.

We are working hard

Room 25 has been at school for nearly a week now and we are beginning to do lots of work

We are writing a description of Mr McAleer. We think he is old, with grey hair and tells funny stories.

We have started maths and are learning about place value.

Our topic for the term is 'Belonging'. We each belong to our family, our school and our community.

It is fun being in the new classrooms and we know we will have an exciting year.
