Games, Games and more Games !

The Children have been trying out some of our wonderful new language games.

Tasi and Rachana are playing  ‘Tummy Ache’. The aim of the game is to put together a meal that is safe to eat. You have to watch out though as there are yucky cards that will give you a ‘Tummy Ache’.

Michael and Faalagi are learning lots of great new words in this vocabulary game. It is their favourite game.

Sofi, Niumalee and Vincent are trying go out our new ‘Sounds Like' bingo game. They are learning lots of new rhyming words.

This term our whole school focus is Sustainability. Our topic title is “Putting our Future on the Line." The purpose of the unit is for students to know what we need to survive and live, as everything we do impacts on others, our environment and ourselves.  Children will develop an inquiring mind towards the things they treasure most in life.

Race Relations Day

Pauline and Amanda all dressed up.

Last Monday we celebrated Race Relations day with an afternoon of games and activities. Children were invited to wear clothes from their country of origin, and participated in games from around the world. It was wonderful to see those children in their Samoan and Tongan dress tossing the caber! Spider soccer and marbles (originally from Turkey) were some of the many activities children got to try. It was a fun afternoon and a great way to celebrate us all.
