Christmas practises are well underway along with keeping our reading, maths and writing programme going strongly.  We will be singing "Frosty the Snowman" with all the other Year 0/1 classes at our performance on Friday 9th December.  Here is the song for your child to practise at home.





Look forward to seeing you at the show!

Warm regards

How fantastic were Room 5 at their assembly!  They did so well and I am very proud of them.

We are now practising for our Christmas performance on Friday 9th December, our Whanau Day. Year 0/1 are performing at 9:30 - 10:00am so I hope you can come and watch us sing and dance,

Below is our song for your child to practise at home.  The words will be in their poem book which will need to go home each night and come to school each day.



It's a sweet song, as one student put it, and they are having fun with the actions.  We are learning to sing in time to the music and each other as well.

Warm regards

Wow!  We are 30% of the way through Term ; it is zooming by.  You will have seen the notice students brought home that Room 5 is running the school assembly on Monday 7th November.  We are busy learning lines and polishing dances for it, and learning our school karakia.  We are learning this in class and students asked to have it on the blog to practise with.

PCS Karakia

Tukua te wairua 

kia rere ki ngā taumata 

Hai ārahi i ā tātou mahi

Me tā tātou whai i ngā tikanga a rātou mā 

Kia mau kia ita

Kia kore ai e ngaro

Kia pupuri

Kia whakamaua

Kia tina! TINA! Hui e! TĀIKI E!

Translation:

Allow one’s spirit to exercise its potential 

To guide us in our work as well as in our pursuit of our ancestral traditions.

Take hold and preserve it.

Ensure it is never lost.

Hold fast. Secure it. Draw together! Affirm!

I hope you are able to come and see the students shine!

Warm regards

Miriam
