Final School Day of 2022

We’ve made it!! It’s our last day of school for 2022! It’s been a crazy few weeks (with prizegiving, reports, outings for leaders and Christmas activities) leading up to this point but we’ve all persevered and made it to the end of the school year.

Room 18 and I would just like to thank everyone who has visited our “class and individual blogs” and left comments for us to read. We’ve enjoyed visiting other class blogs and seeing what everyone has been learning. Special shout out to Mrs Krausse our Manaiakalani In Class Support facilitator. We’ve learned so much from you! Thank you!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday and see you all in the New Year 2023. Here’s a short snippet of our final assembly saying farewell to our Year 6 children and a pic of the Room 18 Special Six class awards.

Visiting the Waimahia Clendon Library

Did you know that it costs $0 for a library card? Today our class walked to the Te Matariki Clendon Library. For most of us, it was our first time visiting this place. Christopher met with us and he showed us around the library. He talked to us about the 5 finger rule: make good choices, use a quiet voice, visit with an adult, choose books you like and if you need help call a librarian. We also learned the difference between fiction and non-fiction books, that there are 56 libraries in Auckland and we can issue up to 35 books. We also got to see every room (study centre for the college kids, room for adults that look for employment etc) in the library and it’s also right next to our Clendon Recreation Centre too. It’s important for us to know our community and the special places and people within it that can help us too.  Here are some photos:

Weetbix Tryathlon and Peter Pan

This week has been a very busy week for Room 18. On Wednesday some of the Y4-5 children took part in the Weetbix Tryathlon held at Mountford Park. The children had been training for a few months now in our swimming pool, running around the field and cycling around the bike track. They were also encouraged to do some training at home too. In Room 18 we had: Anoshken, Harmony and Krayven participate this year. We were all extremely proud of them for the efforts and achievements. They also encouraged and have inspired others to join next year. Here are some photos from the day.

                       

On Friday our whole school (except the Y0-1s) went to the Wendy, Peter Pan the Musical show held at Aotea Centre. It was an amazing performance and we had so much fun!! You can find out more about it here. We hope you all had an amazing week too.
