Room 1

That's a wrap on a fabulous four weeks of Touch!  Our player of the day for our final week is Ruby K. Ruby, you have shown fantastic Touch skills and brought some very useful prior knowledge to the first session, even surprising the coach. You continued to participate and contribute fully throughout the four weeks. Great work Ruby!  Here is Ruby honing up on her Cricket skills :)   

This week our player of the day is Chris. Chris displayed the Key Competency of Relating to Others by being an encouraging sportsperson.  He approached this session with an amazing 'can-do' attitude and learnt how to side step to trick his opponent. He used this new skill like a pro! Keep up the good work, Chris.

Our week 2 player of the day was Owen! He managed himself very well during the lesson and showed great respect towards the coach. He modelled great behaviour, helping Room 1 to get more game time. This week Owen showed an increased level of participation which is great to see, keep up the good work!

Room 1 have been aiming to use more Te Reo in the classroom throughout the day. We are making great steps to use more Maori in our day to day life at school.  Below is the Mihimihi that we have been learning in class, we started my just saying lines 4, 5, and 6, with help from the posters that we have on our board. Now many of us can confidently say the whole thing from memory!  Ka tangi te tītī, ka tangi te kākā, ka tangi hoki ahau, Tihei mauri ora.
