Today we had a full school powhiri. This is a special welcome to the new people joining our school. Even at 9.30am it was very hot outside. We sat in our new class with our hats on. Matua Thomas led the Powhiri. We sang a song together. The new families and teachers were welcomed to our school. We are happy to have so many new people in our school :).
After morning tea today we met our Buddy Class - Room 23. It was a lot of fun to meet our older buddy today. We worked on a piece of art that everyone in our whole school also worked on. We had a piece of card with a quarter circle on it. We had to decorate it in a way that we liked - we had to include our name. These will be displayed in the school office soon.
To end the day we worked on our first poem of the year. We decorated it very carefully and glued it into our poetry book. We have taken our poetry book home to share with our families. Our poetry book lives in our reading folder so we always know where it is and we can read our poems any time.
