Caught Being Good - Christian & Demetrius

TWO Caught Being Good winners in Room 19 this week! 

Christian has had some thoughtful contributions to his maths thinking group, and is working really hard to add with money questions.

Demetrius has shown great improvement with listening, participating, and being an all around great learner in the first term of 2019.

Well done boys, a great effort from you both.

Room 19 - Cultural Unity Day 2019

Owairaka Beehive Visit

We had a very exciting end to Green Week. Some interested children joined Ms Christison and Mr Lyons on the school field, to inspect our school beehive. We spotted lots of very busy worker bees, a few larvae, and lots of honey! 

We loved the smell of wax and honey coming out of the hive. We have learnt that we don't need to be afraid of bees, so long as we are relaxed and calm when we visit their hive.

Green Week Winners!

Vea and Marcella were recognised at assembly during Green Week - Vea for being Travel Wise and walking to school, while Marcella was spotted during the week with a wrapper free lunch box. Both of these girls showed us great ways to support our local environment - awesome!

School Certificate - Liberty

Ka pai Liberty - our school certificate winner for Green Week. Liberty listened to the message from the Sea Cleaners early in Green Week, and spent the rest of the week collecting small plastics and other rubbish from all around our school. What a great way to take action and help out!

Caught Being Good - Zara

Well done Zara - you know what it means to be a good reader. You take your time with reading, and you know not to skip over any new words!

You have also been great at sharing your ideas with your reading group buddies. Well done!

School Certificate - Vea

Well done Vea on a great start to your school year - you are always kind and caring towards others around you, a great way to show manaakitanga. Keep it up, your classmates and teacher appreciate it.

And again! Vea was Caught Being Good again by Whaea Sarah. 2 certificates in one term, WOW!
