Celebrating Christmas Cheer!

On Monday Room 6 decorated the Christmas tree!

We started with a white tree and added some decorations. We put on the lights first and then each person hung a decoration up that they chose. We put on gold and red baubles, red and white tinsel, silvery beads and some red and white candy canes, We put an angel on the very top.

All the time we were singing Christmas songs from Miss Walters' laptop! It made us cheerful and happy and excited for Christmas. Can you hear Frank singing loudly in the background of our video?

Have a look at our Christmas stockings that we hung up in class! We hope that when Santa visits us he might bring us a little present! We will have to wait and see!

Here is a photo of our completed Christmas tree!

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year! We hope you have a safe and happy summer break and come back ready and healthy in 2016!

Culture Day Sneak Peek!

Culture Day is in the last week of school - it's being held on Thursday 17th of December. We have to go to Tamaki College because our school is too big! We need to be there ready to go at 10.30am.

We have been learning Maori and Samoan songs for a few weeks now ready for Culture Day. We also have to learn a Cook Island drum dance and songs from Tonga.

Here is the Junior syndicate singing one of the Samoan songs  called Le Aute. It's all about the Hibiscus flower and how they wear them in hair on their ear and around their necks. See if you can spot the actions!


We feel proud of ourselves because we learnt a new song and we sang well with the actions too! Some of us are Samoan and we feel extra proud to show off our culture!

Amazing All Blacks Singing!

Room 6 have been learning this great song for the Rugby World Cup to fit in with the inquiry topic for the rest of the term! We think it is a great song to encourage the All Blacks to play well in the RWC 2015 and a great way of raising money and awareness for Cure Kids and their Battens disease research.
