Grow Me Well

What is healthy kai?

In Room 8 we are learning to answer questions.

Room 8 have healthy kai everyday.

We know that making healthier choices

is better for our brains and our bodies.

What’s in your lunch box?

LJ said, "I have real fruit in my lunch box".

What do you like eating?

Budgie said," I like eating apples, it's good for my teeth".

Toavalu said, " Bananas are healthy".

Taunuuga said, " I have sandwiches in my lunchbox".

Hayzell said, " I have an egg sandwich".

Samuel said, " Celery is healthy for me".

How can we stay healthy?

Here’s Room 8’s brainstorm.

* eating fruit

*eating vegetables

* excercising

* getting enough rest and sleep

* washing and drying hands properly

*  visiting the dentist-looking after our teeth

*drinking water only

Colin said, "Water is the best.

Eat healthy so we won't get diabetes".

We are an only water drinking school!

We would like to say meitaki maata, malo aupito, fa'afetai lava and thank you to our whanau for making our healthy lunches to bring to school everyday.

Water is best for our brains and bodies

Oh yea, yea, yea, yea

NO FIZZ!!!!!!!

Music Making on Pink Shirt Day

Music Making on Pink Shirt Day

May 19^th was Pink and Red shirt day to raise awareness for bullying.

On Pink and Red shirt day our class were making some wonderful instruments.

We used colourful straws to create our own

Pan flutes!

We then used our flutes to join in with some of our favourite songs.

“My flute makes awesome sounds!” – Diamond

“I like the colours of my flute and the noise”- Honi

We love the sound of 

our awesome flutes!

Welcome to Room 23

We have been learning to be authors and

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.

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.
