Room 4 have had a busy start to 2022. We have had lots of absences due to covid and other sickness but have done our best to create awesome poetry and art to brighten up our classroom. Hopefully you will se evidence of this in our individual blogs later this week as we use them for the first time.

Room 4's busy Term

Room 4 have been hard at work engaging in many sports from dodge ball, infinity tag, soccer skills, capture the flag to ki-o-rahi ready for the Matariki games next week. We enjoyed our school Matariki activity day last week and our hangi shared by all.

Whitebait connection

We are working with Whitebait connection to investigate the health of our local stream. We have had the two in class discussions and head down to the stream for our first field trip this Thursday. This was part of the in class discussion looking at how much clean drinking water is available in the world.

Swimming sports were early this year

We had a wonderful morning at our senior swimming sports - very early in week 4 this year. Then our Western Zone got postponed due to Covid level 2 last week - waiting on news of another date in the coming weeks. Lots of our class made a great effort to swim two length races - ka pai Room 4.

Happenings

We had the tractor trek visit us with a wonderful talk about feelings and managing emotions - the big message being to talk to someone if you are not feeling happy about things.
