Kia Ora all
Today I have been out at Swanannoa learning about how to teach PE. It was an awesome course and I learned many cool games and ideas that I will try out on you.
It was great to meet your mums and dads today at the Meet the Teacher meeting. Tomorrow I have more meetings, and I am looking forward to finding out more about you.
RUN BIKE RUN
This is on tomorrow. It will be a fantastic day. Any day that we get to do sport is a fantastic day.
Remember that there are extra house points for those entering as an individual. There is even a gold, silver and bronze medal for the 1st three placings in the 8yr boys and girls.
See you tomorrow ready to go

Today we had our first official 'desk tidy'. It was great to see that many students needed only a minute or two to straighten things up.
Imagination Portraits
Here are some of the completed art pieces that are up in the classroom. We will add more as they are completed.

Super talented students
Today we were fortunate to witness some amazing Highland dancing by the talented Brook. Without music, and oozing confidence Brook had us clapping a beat as she danced around the room.
Here is a picture or two of Brook in action.

Today we worked on our TREATY for our classroom.
We discussed and agreed on a variety of expectations that will help us to get the most out of being in Room 5 in 2013.
Some of them we are doing well with, others need a bit of work. But then that's the point in having a treaty.
On Monday we will discuss the consequences of not following our treaty.
Here is a photo of the treaty.

This is our CARE value for term 1. We are really going to focus on this. Below are the community values we agreed on, in the form of red leaves to go on our Kauri tree.
