Message to the Adults

The kids in Room 24 at Pt England School have a message for the adults who think they are in charge of the world. They reckon that some of the adults making decisions in the world right now (not mentioning any names...) are not thinking of future generations.

They have suggestions for looking after the environment, what we should do with the economy, and how people should be behaving.

We hope you enjoy Room 24s pep talk: A Message to the Adults.

Tongan Language Week

We celebrated Tongan Language Week a few weeks ago at Pt England School. This was the performance at assembly.

Busy Term!

This has been such a busy term!

Cross country, catching baby patiki (flounder) to grow and return to the ocean, production, film festival... we have been up to so many exciting things. Here is a snapshot of some of these things.

Aliens Love Underpants!

Last week, Room 24 went and joined Mrs Stickland and Room 7 for our Tuakana Teina time. We listened to a story about Aliens who love underpants, and then we got to design underpants with our big buddies!

Thanks so much to Mrs Stickland and Room 7 for having us!

Guardians of the Galaxy

This term Team 2 are going to be learning about SPACE! We are going to focus on how the sun and the moon affect the earth.

Here is the crazy movie our teachers put together for the immersion assembly today.

Matariki Day Photos

These photos were taken on our Pt England School Matariki Day last Friday. The first photo is of some brave students from Kauri Flats School speaking at our assembly about the flounder project. Then there are some photos of one of our Matariki groups having shared kai. The last photo shows the exhausted kids in Room 24 at the end of the day!

Matariki Day

Last Friday, Pt England School celebrated Matariki with a tuakana teina day. Students worked on a variety of creative projects. One group made a movie about the story of Ranginui and Papatuanuku. They created, performed and recorded their own music, and told the story through sand art.

Here is the final product. Please leave us a comment!

Mr Snedden

We learnt about some of the amazing things that Mr Snedden has done for us and other people over the years. We are truly grateful for how much he has helped us at Pt England School.

We love you Mr Snedden and we are so proud of you for becoming a Member of the Order of Merit (MNZM) for services to education and Māori.

Here is our film we made to thank you...

Menemene - smile!

On Friday we had our Maori class with Whaea Saf. We were learning how to keep a smile on our faces! There were lots of smiles, and lots of giggles while we sang!

Museum Trip

We have had a busy first week back together! In their last week with Miss Szymanik, Team 2 went to Auckland Museum to explore and learn about Matariki. They had an amazing time and shared what they did in recounts about the trip. Check out their individual blogs to read more about what they got up to!
