Our next meeting will be on Friday 8th August, where we will discuss strategies to help your child at home.  Bring your good ideas and technology (Ipad, tablet etc) and we will share ideas.

Special welcome

Yesterday we had a mihi whakatau.  I feel it is very special because I have never done this before.

First Mr Richardson spoke to us and the school sung a song.

Next Munashe thanked Mr Richardson for his welcome and we sang a waiata (song).

Last we had a hongi to show that we are all a family together now.

 This is the hongi.

Learning classroom words

Here is Cheng-han practising his classroom words.

Welcome to Siyoung

Yesterday we welcomed Siyoung to our school.  She is from Korea and has won a scholarship to study for two weeks at Aidanfield Christian School.
We are very pleased to have her at our school.
Here she is in her new class.

Baking fun

I am Cheng-shon.  She is Ruo-jhen.  She is Joy.  I am making pikelets. 

I have a pan.  I like jam and pikelets.

Welcome to our new students

On Monday, we welcomed three new Taiwanese students to our school.  Ruo-Jhen, Cheng-Syun and Cheng-Han will be at our school for the next four weeks.  We are delighted to have you with us!

Joy's third week

"This week three new Taiwanese students have arrived at our school.  Sometimes I can speak Chinese to them and help them to feel better.
I am working hard on my homework and Mrs Anthony is helping me.  I feel good because I have finished it!
PE class is very fun because we can play a lot of games.  I like to play tag and learn new games.
Everything at school is fun!"

Science class

                                        We are collecting some dirt to put in a boiling tube.

We put some water up to the top, and we shook it together.

Planting some trees

I am planting some trees with Samuel .  He is from Taiwan too. I  am happy,because I can speak Chinese with another student. That was fun.
In 5 years those trees will be taller  than me.

Sumner beach

On Sunday morning I went to Sumner beach with my family.  I went to Sumner because my dad wanted to go there.  My family used the car to go to Sumner.

I walked on the sand and took a lot of photos. When I was walking I stood in dog poo!  It smelt bad and I feeled sad.  I think the people who have dogs should pick it up.
