Room 3 2017

Over the past few weeks, we have been listening to a wide range of stories that feature strong character descriptions. This week we used plasticene to create colourful 3 D creations of the different characters and props chosen from these stories. We then retold each of the stories to our class using the characters and props that we had created.

What a fantastic day we had on Friday as we celebrated the achievement of the Green Gold Enviroschool Award. We started the day by watching the hangi being prepared and then we joined in with the powhiri. After that we listened to speeches including those by our Year 7 and 8 leaders and then our Kapahaka group performed on stage. All this was then followed by the presentation of the flag, certificate and special tree, which was planted in our playground. We watched the hangi being lifted and then we all ate the yummy food together. The fire engine and fire fighters came and that night we had a special disco.
