Assembly

Today MR Class hosted the whole school Assembly. Our hosts did an absolutely fantastic job. Miss Rowe was so proud of them! Well done to Jordan who got given a certificate for being a great helper, friend and role model.

Helping Nepal

Today MR Class did what they could to support Nepal. Nepal had a terrible earthquake and we wanted to do what we could to help out. The student council arranged the school to bring in some coins to make a coin trail up Mt Everest. We went as a class to put our coins on. We hope this helps Nepal. 

Gymnastics

I have learned to do walking on the beam. I learned how to jump on the air mat. I have been practising climbing on the ropes. By Holly 

I have learned that I can climb the tall rope. I love the big blue mat. I have been practising star jumps on the big blue mat. My favourite part is the air mat. The part that I find hardest is jumping on the big blue mat. By Max 

My favourite part about gymnastics is walking on the beam. I love gymnastics. It is lots of fun because you can climb the rope. By Ciara 

Yay! At Gymnastics I love climbing the rope and jumping on the big scary blue mat. My favourite part is the air mat. Next time I would like to do flips. The part I find the hardest is climbing the rope. By Josh 

I have been learning to climb to the top of the rope. My favourite thing is climbing the rope and jumping on the air mat. By Emily 

I have learned how to climb the ropes. You have to be strong to climb them. I loved the big blue mat because it is soft and you get to jump off it and land onto another mat.I have been practising walking on the beam. It was fun. My favourite part is the air mat. You do jumps on it and the colours are white and orange. By Nathan

Marae Trip

Yesterday MR Class went on a trip to Takapuwahia Marae in Elsdon. This was such a great experience because we got to see all the different parts of the Marae that we had been learning about. 

We also got to see how a powhiri works on a Marae and got to experience lots of different activities. We had children from Aotea College come and do many activities with us. 

Check out some of the activities that we participated in. I wonder if you can think of two things that you learned while at the Marae.

We also got to sing waiata, say our mihimihi and have a go at practising poi.
