Assembly Aces!

 Last Friday Room 16 were on the stage at Assembly.  We thought it was fun, exciting, epic, amazing, loud, awesome, great, some of us were shy, and magnificent.  Mrs Phillips is very very proud of us!
Here is the food pyramid we showed and talked about and some of the Art gallery pictures that we also showed.  Lots of children chose to speak and had a turn at the microphone.
Last Monday we had a holiday for Otago Anniversary Day.
Cultural Swap has started and we go to Room 9 to learn Italian with Mrs Woods.
We have finished Healthy Eating with Richard and Harold the giraffe and are now doing the Keeping Ourselves Safe Programme with Constable Sommerfield.  We have learned a lot so far.
Our lovely College Teachers take reading groups, read stories and take fitness with us and we are teaching them how to be teachers.  Next week they will each take a maths group.

 Swimming started last Tuesday and goes until this Thursday. 
On most wet days we get a bus and on dry days we walk. 
We go at playtime so we have our healthy snack and morning tea together during reading time.  We get back at lunchtime.
We are lucky to have parent helpers to come with us.

Swimming is: fun, hard, lots of arm strokes, time when we work in three groups, sometimes diving

learning to kick your legs, learning to kick on your side and learning lots of other new things.

We have three new College teachers for this term.  They will come on Tuesday mornings.
We met Mrs Tunoka and Mr Williams last week and will also meet Mr Straight this week.

We have changed reading groups because Mrs Phillips had everyone read to her last week.  Mrs McAuslan came to look after us.

On Adventure and Camp week we didn't have Assembly because the Y5's and 6's were away so there was Assembly last week and this week.  It was also very quiet in the playground when they were away and we liked that.
