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!
