Room 23 Authors!






Haere Mai Nau mai
Welcome to Room 23
We have been learning to be authors and
we did  a lot of writing in term 1.
Easter Writing.



Here are some of our different stories.
We brainstormed our ideas as a class, we watched videos, looked at photos and learnt songs and 
our teacher helped us with our writing.


Easter Story Writing

Hayzell - Easter is about love, new life and forgiveness.

Sarai & So'o- Christians celebrate Easter by remembering what Jesus did on the cross.

Easter Art

We ended our learning and writing on Easter with our own version of a stainless glass window with the Cross that represents Jesus dying on the cross for us.

All About Me Writing - I AM IMPORTANT!

Samuel -Hello! Kiaora! Malo e lelei! 
My name is Samuel Kau.
I am a boy and I am part European, Maori and Tongan. I am special. I am important. I am unique. There is only one me.
When I grow up I want to be a policeman.
Pauline- Malo e lelei! Talofa lava!
My name is Pauline Laiseni. I am half Tongan and Samoan. I am important and unique.
When I grow up I want to be a doctor.
