Welcome to Room 10's Page

This term the over arching theme is sustainability. Staying true to authentic learning the children have been proactive in deciding what areas interest them most and they have had to think about ways in which their topics link to other areas of the curriculum such as literacy, mathematics, science, technology and so on.
I am in the process of arranging an educational visit and will send out a letter as soon as I can.


Buddy Mass Rooms 2, 9 and 10 Tuesday 21st October

This morning Rooms 2, 9 and 10 took part in a Buddy Mass centering around the theme of Missions.
 It was fantastic to see so many friends and family there to share this special time with us.
The gifts that were presented to Father Mateo  are going to the Children`s Ward of Hutt Hospital and we hope that the presents and card will help to cheer up the children.

A delicious Shared Morning Tea followed, which was enjoyed by all.
We would like to thank Father Mateo and all those members of our families who took the time to attend.

This week we had loads of fun dancing and learning about community with the ICPE team.
They did a play about a Shepard with 5 sheep and they are priceless one of a kind and precious to him. They all have special talents and together they build a strong stable house which they all live in together. They showed us some songs with some actions which we followed. We also got split into groups of about 20 and completed a puzzle in our groups. We ended the day with a shared lunch!
