NOAH'S PASIFIKA PERFORMANCE

Room 11 was very proud of Noah today as he performed on stage at assembly as part of the Pasifika group.  Soon he will also be performing in the Polyfest.  Noah practises with the Pasifika group every Thursday afternoon and we think he is an awesome dancer!  Great stuff, Noah!


KATARINA'S FITNESS CIRCUIT

Our optional extra for homework this week was to design your own fitness game to share with the class.  Katarina went to a lot of effort to organise a circuit for the children to complete.  It had seven different activities including soccer, giant tennis ball, elastics, weaving through cones, hot potato, mini ball and mat exercises.  Katarina even had prizes to give to those children who tried really hard.  What a great effort, Katarina!




OPEN AFTERNOON

Thank you to all the parents and children who visited our classroom for the Open Afternoon on Thursday.  It was great to see you!
