Certificates for Week 3

Congratulations to Dorian who received the Principal's Award for Week 3. He has been persevering with his maths and this is producing some great results. Keep persevering Dorian.

For the last few weeks we have been working on showing respect to the people in our class and our classroom. Chaytah, Cameron, Joshua, Savannah and Karolin have all been showing respect. Congratulations of receiving PRIDE Certificates for Week 3. 

Classroom Objects

This term we have been persevering to learn the Te Reo words for Classroom Objects. 

- Today students found different objects and placed them on their desks. 

- When their partner wasn't looking, each student had to hide an object. 

- Their partner had to then guess which object had been removed (by using the Maori word for the object).

Certificates for Week 7

Keegan has been working diligently in class. He has been working out of class with some of this maths and when returning to class he is able to come in and get himself organised and focussed on his work. 

The PRIDE Certificate recipients for Week 7 are Joshua, Joe, Ashton and Hayley. They have been persevering and working diligently in their reading, writing and maths.
