Whakataka

This week we have been learning a new Karakia. Below is a video and the words for our amazing learners who want to learn more at home. 

Super Salmon Swimmers!

Today was a big day for our learners, the first day in the School Pool. We were all so impressed with how brave they were hopping into the pool and giving everything a go. 

Some of the things we focused on were how to safely enter and exit the pool, putting our heads under the water, moving around in the water and our confidence. Well done to our Super Swimmers for the day. 

We look forward to the lessons on Monday and Friday next week. 

 Week Five

Welcome to the end of Week 5. What a busy week we have had in Community 2.

This week we had the Rose and Flower show where students created a garden or flower display either from an old shoe or boot, a recycled container or a miniature garden. Below is some photos of the many wonderful creations:

WALKATHON: 

We also had the walkathon today. It was such a beautiful day and the students really enjoyed it, especially at the end when they all got a yummy ice block. Below are some photos: 

Reminders for Next Week:

1. Friday 20th November is a Teacher Only Day so school will be closed for instruction on this day. 

2. Please remember to continue to remind your child to bring their hat to school each day.

3. As it is now getting hotter please ensure your child comes to school with a drink bottle filled with water. 

Community 2, Term 4, Week 4.

Week 4 has come to a close and we are all still feeling a little bit tired from an amazing Athletics Day! We hope that the students came home and shared all of their stories about being an athlete. All of the teachers were very impressed with the respect and care each child showed their fellow competitors on the day. 

Later in the week the students  had an opportunity to brainstorm, share and write down their stories of the day and also the different things that made them an athlete. Have a look at some of the quotes from our community 2 students;

"I am an athlete because I work hard to get better."

 "An athlete is someone who practices to make progress not perfection!"

"When you are an athlete you know that it is ok not to win. When you don't win you get to cheer on your other friends!"

"My favourite part of athletics day was running as a fast as a cheetah!"

This term we have all been enjoying the sunshine when it peeks through the clouds. The students have especially been enjoying time during lunch to come together and share stories under the big shady trees. However; we are all having to also remember that it is time to be sun safe and have a hat on! 

We can not believe we are so far through the last term already. We want to extend a big thank you to you all for your continuous support to keep the students organised and ready to learn. Although it has been busy year, the learners in community 2 are still showing focus and striving to be A.C.T.I.V.E learners. 

We have an exciting few weeks ahead with the upcoming flower show, walkathon and disco! We are looking forward to seeing you all next week!
