WHAT’S HAPPENING IN CLASS ?
Room 18 has been learning about healthy foods that help us grow. Students had the opportunity to create a Still Life of a bowl of their favourite fruits. A Still Life is a work of art that shows an arrangement of commonplace objects. Objects can come from nature or be man-made.

ARRIVING TO SCHOOL ON TIME
A reminder that even on these cold wet mornings students are expected to be at school and in class before the 8:40 am bell, please. INTERESTING FACT: When a student is late by just 5 minutes, over the year this equates to 68 hours of learning. Thank you to our whānau/aiga who ensure their tamaiti are here ready for their learning to get underway at 8:40 am.
