Beatriz and Holly persisting!!




The girls spent all of reading time putting the homonyms together. They decided they showed persistence because they didn't give up when it took a long time.

Jayden, Solomon and Kamil showing resilience:



These boys showed initiative in asking to do a stop motion animation of the story they read today in reading.

They decided that they showed resilience in trying, trying again a different way and trying again!!

We are learning how to do stop motion animations



Can you figure out how we did it??

We wanted to teach the new entrants their maori colours



- The children decided to say the maori word twice, so that the new entrant children could listen the first time and join in the second time.

To kick start our study on character resilience we dressed up for the day

Japanese Friends

We were lucky enough to host some Japanese students for the afternoon. The children really enjoyed hearing about what school is like in Japan and comparing it our school.

Our names look Really cool in Japanese too!!

Thank you to our new friends.
