Check out the amazing Kakariki Whanau Group in action

Thank you to our leaders Bridget and Akayla who have been leading our Whanau sessions on being "Confident".  Today we worked on our self portraits.  We are really looking forward to our next sessions when they have promised to teach us some cool games.

Learning Chinese with Wendy

Wendy took us for a Chinese language lesson today.  We learned how to say hello, my name is.... ,  thank and good-bye.  We played a game to practise our learning.  Thank you for taking us Wendy.  Room 7 thought it was really fun and had a great time.

Whanau Games

On Wednesday the 9th of February 2015 we had our annual school Whanau  Games. All school Whanau groups went round four activities including Sponge Run, Parachute, Bean Bag Toss and Fill the Bucket. It was an all round success for the whole school.

The Sponge Run was a new event for the Whanau games this year.  Fill the Bucket was a favourite from  the past Whanau games. Parachute was one of the favourite  activities.   Bean Bag Toss was from past years. 

A big thank you to Mrs Baines and Room 7 for organising the fantastic time for everyone throughout the school.

R7 Caterpillars

We have got four caterpillars on our swan plant, two of our caterpillars are in their chrysalis.  The caterpillars came from Jack and Harris'swan plants.  Their names are Brodie,Lee, Dave and Barry. They eat a lot of leaves and eat very fast. They can also crawl very fast. All of Room Seven are very excited to have four caterpillars that will change into monarch butterflies.

Thank you Jack and Harris.

Buddy time

Every Friday at 12 o'clock Room 7 go over to their buddy class Room 1 and have buddy time for half an hour.  Some of the activities are arts & craft, games, reading books and passing a ball around. 

After half an hour we sadly have to say goodbye until next week. We really enjoy spending time with our buddies.

Here are some photos of our first buddy time together where we read books:

Stunning day for our first touch games for 2015

Congratulations to both of our teams today.  Good to see team work and positive attitudes at the touch field.

Not only were there elements of magic on the field while I was watching Brodie was up to his own magic!
