Room 24's First Trip to Harold at the Life Education Van

What an exciting first day of term Room 24 had. Not only did we have a fun-filled immersion assembly first thing in the morning, we were also lucky enough to visit Harold at the Life Education classroom after morning tea!!! 

We talked about what it looked like to be a good friend. Do you know we all carry around a bucket? And when you do kind things like including people in your games, being polite, helpful and friendly you fill people's buckets up with happiness and good things. You are a 'bucket filler'. When you do things that are unkind, or are a 'bad' friend, you are taking those good, happy things out of the bucket. You are being a 'bucket dipper'. 

What things can you do around school and at home to be a bucket filler?

We can't wait for our next visit to Harold!

Immersion Assembly Term 3 'We Are the Champions'

Welcome back to Term 3 Point England School, and welcome back Mr and Mrs Burt. As we do at the beginning of each new term, we had an exciting assembly to find out we will be learning about for our Inquiry topic in term 3. In our immersion topic 'We are the Champions' we will be looking at the Olympics which taking place in the city of Rio in the Country of Brazil. In team 2 we will be looking at the geography side of things: looking at our country New Zealand and the country the Olympics is taking place in, Brazil. 

Do you know what city you live in? Do you know what suburb you live in?

Do you know what continent of the world Brazil is found?

Hopefully by the end of this term we will able to answer all these questions!!

Te Tuhi Trip

Last Thursday Room 24 went on a class trip to Te Tehi Art Gallery in Pakuranga. Our Inquiry Topic for Term 2 is as i see it. Room 24 are looking at creating art that represents the season of summer.

We had a fantastic time at Te Tuhi. We got to have a go at doing some 'Dream House' art. We used shapes to create our dream home and drew all the cool things we would have inside our house. 

We looked around the gallery and saw some very interesting Art. We learnt that Art doesn't just have to be a painting on the wall - it can be a photo, sculpture, movie or music. 

Welcome back to Term 2 - Our new Inquiry topic is 'As i see it'

Pt England students arrived back at school today ready to learn! Our Inquiry this term is called 'As i see it'. The whole school will be doing lots of exciting pieces of art. Year 2 are looking at art around the Seasons; Room 24 are going to be looking closely at the Summer season! What kind of colours make you think about summer and feel warm?

Fantastic Fia Fia Night

A big thank you to all the tutors, managers, teachers and students for all their hard work. What an amazingly cool night! Chahoooooo!
