Room Six's 6 word story challenge

Our very own Junior Tough Gal!

Congratulations Zoe M!

Zoe has been training for, and yesterday participated in, the Junior Tough Gal event in West Auckland. She went with a big group of children from Owairaka School.

It was a 3km run through some super muddy obstacles, including some mud slides, crawling under nets, and freezing water up to her neck! 

I am sure lots of Room 6 wants to give it a go next year after seeing your efforts Zoe!

Caught Being Good - Tamati

Congratulations Tamati - you were our Caught Being Good winner this week. You have shown that you can be super confident, especially with new challenges, and you ALWAYS have excellent manners at school, which is our school focus right now!

Ka pai!

School Certificate - Saana

Saana was our certificate winner on Friday. Saana is a great thinker in maths time, but the reason she got the certificate if for her inclusive and collaborative approach to maths problem solving in her group. Excellent listening and sharing Saana, well done!

School Focus: Manners Matter

Room 6 is Freaky Fast

Congratulations - Joyce, Brandon, Emacyn, Zoe M - who represented Owairaka at the Eden Albert Cross Country on Tuesday.

Well done, you represented your school and your class with pride and huge energy!

And the best part, you are all young enough to come back and do it all again next year!!!

Room 6 - Community Gardens

We spent time in the Community Gardens at Owairaka Park today - helping our friend Heather. We had 3 jobs:

- we planted a new guava tree, and we harvested a big crop of Jerusalem Artichoke
- we weeded a couple of big garden beds
- we sketched drawings of insects from the bug hotel

Well done Room 6, a great way to show support for your local community!

Caught Being Good: Sahar

Sahar you are a superstar! Not only did you practice with enthusiasm during buddy class dancing lessons, you turned up to school so you could perform at Room 6's school assembly EVEN THOUGH you were sick!

What an inspiring effort.

Science: FORCES!

Happy Green Day from Room Six

Well done Room 6 and Room 23 for the way you worked together to present an awesome Green Day Assembly... your teachers are super proud of every single one of you!

School Certificate - Emacyn and Joyce

Hidden under these masks are Emi and Joyce, our two senior chicken caretakers! Everyone in Room 6 has a turn caring for our school chooks, but these two are up at the coop EVERY day - feeding, watering, cleaning. 

Thanks so much girls - we couldn't look after the Owairaka chooks without all the work you do.

Room 6's Walking Warrior!

BIG Congratulations to Zoe C - who recently completed 600 walks to/from school. She was recognised by Auckland Transport for her awesome efforts to being travel wise. We are sure that number will keep going up too!

Check out her super healthy green lunch too...

School Focus: Play Fair

Caught Being Good: Cole

Cole, well done for your excellent effort and attitude at school this term. You have shown us this in class, and especially during our recent Cross Country training and on race day! Your face when you crossed the finish line showed that you gave it 100%. Nice one!

Room 6 - Holiday Reading Log Champions!
