Puriri Rubbish Clean Up

Charmaine, Halle and Sophia are going to tell you about  this rubbish tomorrow.  Watch this space!

We walked around the school and this how much rubbish we found. We are trying to encourage everyone to respect the environment, so that we can all have a healthy environment and to be rubbish free.

Liz from Caritas

This is Liz from Caritas, the Catholic Aid Agency.   She travels around NZ  teaching people how Caritas helps people in need. She came to our school to show us how people are suffering badly in heaps of countries, and told us how to help by just giving a few dollars which makes a big difference.

In our class we are trying to raise money for the Caritas Foundation so more people in the world are being given clean water and healthy food.

Whanau Leaders 2012

Room 19 is in Puriri Whanau along with Rooms 1, 8, and 10. Last week we held an election to find our new whanau leaders for this year. What a difficult job that turned out to be. We had 9 applicants and they all did a brilliant job presenting their election speeches to the whanau group. It was a really close race but in the end the results are as follows:

Billy and Zahna are the Puriri Whanau leaders for 2012

Noah and Brylee are the Deputy Leaders and Finn, Leah, Sam, Sophia and Evan will make up the committee to help run our whanau. Congratulations to all of you.

Welcome to Room 19 - 2012

Well we have had a fantastic start to the year. It is going to be a very busy term with our trip to Waitangi along with loads of activities planned to support our learning concept of My Story - My Culture.

Our learning concept this term is My Story - My Culture. Our enduring understandings are:

Culture is kept alive in the traditions, beliefs and stories

of a group a people.

Jesus has stories to tell which teach us how to live.

We will be exploring these ideas by finding out about our story and culture as New Zealanders through the Treaty of Waitangi as well as sharing our individual stories and cultures represented in our classroom and school. It would be really great if you can share stories that are special to your family and culture with the children.

Keep a look out for the regular school newsletter along with special Gala notices.
