Bye Bye Toni

We've have had great fun this term with our volleyball sessions.  

We have learnt some amazing volleyball skills and techniques from our coach Toni.  

Sadly, our time with Toni has come to an end but Room 9 wishes Toni all the best with her Volleyball scholarship in America! 

Learn everything you can, explore, travel and don't forget to indulge in American candy and chips!

Much love, from Room 9

Kawa of Care - Parent Evening

What a SUCCESS! 

Eighteen whanau members were able to attend our Kawa of Care parent evening and by the end of the evening, eighteen delighted Room 9 students happily skipped out of the classroom with their Chromebooks.

Miss Ly was ecstatic to see you all working on your homework tasks for the week! She was also super impressed to see that you all had logged off your Chromebooks by 8:30pm!

Kawa of Care

Week 9, two weeks till a much needed break and the week we finally can all take our Chrome books home for learning!

We had Miss Sadgrove chat to us about what tomorrow afternoon will look like as well as answer any curious questions we had.

We spent the morning collaborating with Room 10 to check through our Kawa of Care slide deck and role played on how our discussions with our whanau might go tomorrow afternoon! 

We can't wait to take our Chromebooks home! 

Miss Ly can't wait to no longer have to worry about locking up your Chromebooks at the end of the day!

Old School Playground Games

While I was on duty this week, I was ecstatic to find a group of Room 9 students playing skipping rope!  It was a favourite of mine back in Primary School!

Room 9 is putting the challenge out there to other classes to see if they can come up with a few skipping rope tricks and skills and compete with us in two's or three's!

Did you know - 10 minutes of skipping can have the same health benefits as a 45 minute run?

Who's interested in our next planning adventure in August?

Keeping Ourselves Safe!

We had the privilege of having Constable T in to teach us for our unit - Keeping Ourselves Safe.
We had two lessons - Safely home and Mark makes a good call.

 Each student took home a Safely Home guide booklet to discuss with their parents and caregivers the twelve safe practices.  These are an excellent start for establishing family discussions and rules to have in place to ensure each child is aware of their safety no matter where they may be or doing.  Please make time to sit down with your children to talk through with them about the twelve safety practices.

Keep Warm!

The change of weather has unfortunately caught up with Miss Ly and she has caught the nasty flu...

But while she was tucked up in bed with a box of tissues and hot lemon tea... Room 9 had the pleasure to have Ms Ann Russell for the day!

Ann Russell is an author from the West Coast of Auckland.  She writes must-read family stories for all animal lovers from 4 years to 108!

Room 9 would like to thank Ann for her fun day full of learning and hopes she comes back to Glen Taylor School soon.

Thank you Ann Russell! Much love from Room 9💛

Reminder - KEEP DRY and WARM! It's not cool being sick!
