We Are Performers!

We have been reading plays. We love reading different characters and we can be very expressive. Reading out loud helps us to become fluent, expressive readers.

One...Two...Three..Go!

We have been running in athletics. It has been a lot of fun and we have some really fast runners in our class.  Here are some of our speed racers!!

How big are we?

This week we have a student teacher in our class, her name is Mrs Taylor.  She has been teaching us about measurement. She gave us all a measuring tape and we had to measure each other. This was a lot of fun.

Swimming

This term we have been learning about water safety. We have enjoyed these sessions and have learnt a little about how to be safe around water.

Fiji

This term we are learning about Fiji. We are looking forward to sharing what we have learned with you at our special PCS Pacifika Showcase.

Our Value for term 3.

This term our value is determination.  Determination means to set a goal and stay focused. If we do that, we can achieve our goals. We can be determined in sports, school work, and many other things.  We are learning that slow and steady wins the race.

Our value this term is Honesty. If you are honest in all you do, that's a big thumbs up to you!

Sports Fun Day

Last Wednesday we had a sports fun day!  We got to play lots of cool games with the coaches from Counties Manukau. At the end of the sports we were exhausted and thirsty. Thank goodness for our afternoon milk and the bananas Mrs Patel gave us. Thank you Mrs Patel! 

The Botanic Gardens

On Thursday, 27 March we went to the Botanic Gardens to learn about New Zealand native birds. We had a lot of fun! We learned lots about the native birds in the classroom and then we walked around the gardens. It was a great day!

Our aftenoon refreshments.

This week started having milk at school. We drink our milk after lunch and then we have more energy for our school work. The trick is not to squirt our milk everywhere!
