Zara has worked super hard to learn place value in maths, while Jasmine has shown that she is considerate of all her classmates, always thinking about ways she can be kind and helpful.
Well done girls!
Kia kaha e hoa mā! Well done to Iverson and Kaea, who received School Certificates this week. Both boys performed so well in their Cultural Groups (Japanese and Irish) at the weekend.
It was also amazing to see so many Room 19 children dancing and performing confidently on the stage. We are looking forward to seeing the performances one more time at Family Night this evening.

Ka wani kē, Grace and Quinton, who received School Certificates this week. Grace competed fiercely at our recent Athletics Day, and had an awesome sense of fair play, while Quinton has been working hard to learn lots of new words during reading time.
Well done guys, great work!
Congratulations to all the Year 3 - 6 children, who took part in our annual Athletics Day, held at Lovelock Track in Wesley.
Room 19 children achieved some impressive results, and more importantly, displayed our school values of Manaakitanga and Manawanuitanga.
Thanks also to all the parents who supported us.
It is great to be able to get together as a school for assemblies again, and to recognise some of the outstanding learning that is taking place in our classrooms.
Johnson and Tanya received certificates this week, for being great learning role models.
Kia kaha e hoa mā!
Well done to Iverson and Dolores, who received Caught Being Good certificates this week. They have made great contributions to class discussions recently, and have shown that they understand the 'staircase strategy' - taking small steps to get to our eventual goals.
Below is a photo of Room 19 children hosting Puriri Assembly during week 2. We shared our Garden to Table experiences, a Niuean quiz, and the Story of Wairaka.
Room 19 children enjoyed their first Garden to Table lesson at school this week. Some of us worked in the kitchen to prepare a delicious dish to celebrate Niuean Language week, while the rest of us got familiar with the garden beds, tools, and safety expectations when working outdoors.
The children in Room 19 are all preparing for performances in the Eden Albert Cultural Festival. This exciting event will be held on Saturday 26 November.
Keep an eye out for a notice with more information from your child's Cultural Group tutor over the next couple of weeks.
Caroline was teaching in Room 19 on Tuesday and she wanted to recognise Elise and Kaea for their super learning efforts. They both received Caught Being Good certificates at our Puriri Assembly. Tapatapahi ana!
Week 9 of this term was another exciting one for our 'Superhero' theme at school.
We had a visit from some superhero animals (and their handlers) in our community, the police dogs. These incredible animals help to keep us all safe. We were very impressed with their discipline and the speed with which they could move across the ground!
Thanks to the NZ Police for taking the time to visit us again.
Our first school assembly in over two years was a pretty special event this week. It was great to be back together and listen to Sheryl remind us of our two school rules - be SAFE and be KIND.
Kalo and Freddie received certificates for their outstanding contributions to Room 19 this term. Well done guys, excellent work!
We go to Te Reo Maori lessons every three weeks with Whaea Kristie. Over the last few weeks we have been learning to name emotions and classroom objects in Te Reo Maori.
Room 19 had our first visit to the Play Shed (on the field), to experience some discovery time together.
We enjoyed the freedom to choose, both who we worked with and what we did.
Caught Being Good - congratulations to Bailee and Savannah, who received certificates at our Puriri Assembly this week. Bailee worked hard to proof read and edit her persuasive writing, while Savannah has been awesome at completing follow up reading activities. Well done, girls!
Room 19 enjoying their weekly music lesson with Mrs Landall. We are preparing for a concert in week 10!
We had heaps of fun with our Kauri team buddy class, Room 6, in the hall this week. We spent time exploring the giant wooden games from the Wood Botherer. The younger and older children showed some great manaakitanga and cooperation skills.
You can find out more about the Wood Botherer and their games here.
Great work, Phoenix and Johnson, who received Caught Being Good certificates at Puriri Assembly this week. Phoenix has been super focused during learning time this term, while Johnson has created and shared some interesting homework projects. Keep up the great effort, boys!
Room 19 enjoyed our visit to the Auckland Art Gallery this week. It was great inspiration as we get ready for our whole-school Art Exhibition later in the term (week 10).
The children participated in a sculpture building lesson, did a scavenger hunt around some of the current exhibitions, and did an a portrait extension activity in the Animalia room.
Many children commented that it was their first visit to the gallery, and they would be keen to go back again! Please visit https://www.aucklandartgallery.com/ for more information.
Thanks to parents Anna and Daniel who made it a very relaxing day of learning and fun.
Freddie and Jack have made a great start to learning in term three - they have both been focused in their reading group, and making some great contributions to our class discussions. They were recognised with Caught Being Good certificates at our Puriri Assembly today. Well done boys!
We made kawakawa iced tea in class, as part of our Green Week study into native trees. Here is the recipe, in case you want to give it a go at home. There are plenty of kawakawa leaves in the rongoa garden next to Room 19!
The children of Room 19 hosted our Puriri Assembly during week 9. We shared some of our favourite homework projects from this term, and some children performed a play, "The Seven Fish of Matariki".
Jasmine and Kalo received Caught Being Good certificates, well done girls!
The amazing Duffy Theatre actors were back at Owairaka this week, to remind us about the importance of reading!
Here is what the show was all about:
In the world of the play, it 's lock-down in Aotearoa due to covid-19. Duffy and Scruffy have gone off to their Auntie’s farm because both their parents are essential workers and we are with them each step of the way as they tackle online learning, hand sanitiser, and life on the farm. Duffy finds it really tough to stay with reading through this time and we see him go on an adventure that reminds him why he loves reading and why it’s so important for him to be the reading super hero that we all know he is. The show is designed to be a light hearted reflection on a pretty trying time for Duffy kids, with reading and books at the forefront. This year, our staging is also at the forefront, we are bring the back stage, on stage so that Duffy kids get to see all that goes into creating a play!
