Welcome to Room 16's blog for 2016. We are a fantastic class of stunning year 3 learners and our kaiako is Whaea Tearani.
Today we had our Christmas Assembly. We sang Christmas songs, Jessica our X factor winner performed, and some special visitors including a four footed rednosed friend. We had so much fun watching the Sunnyhills Angels and the Tone Chimes Ensemble were brilliant.
Rooms 16 and 20 are having our annual Xmas Decoration making. This year Room 21 joined us. This is a fabulous opportunity for us to get together and practise the skills of sharing, leading, and supporting each other, both teachers and children, not to mention consolidating our key competencies.
Today the Middle School were very fortunate to have Mr Raynor from
Auckland Museum came to talk about Animal Adaptations.
We saw a Moa leg and it's predator the Haast Eagle - skull and claw. The Moa and Haast Eagle are now extinct.
Thank you for coming to talk to us Mr Raynor!!!
He bought a mount of a little spotted kiwi. Our national bird can still become extinct if we do not look after their habitats and eliminate their predators.
Some of the predators we introduced to NZ are Mice, Rats, Stoats, and Cats. These animals often kill our native birds.
Today is our final bible session with Mrs Burgess. Room 16 has been fortunate to have our lovely Mrs Burgess with us throughout the year.
Have a wonderful Christmas Mrs Burgess from Room 16 XOXOX

Hello everyone we have another - almost last - school assembly. Today's assembly is special because today is Armistice Day. It is commemorated every year on November 11 when WW1 ceased and took affect at eleven o'clock in the morning - ...the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month...
Well done Henry for working hard to receive our Principals Certificate for excellent progress in speaking and reading English!!!
This afternoon Rooms 16 and 20 had an afternoon of inquiry learning together. We made Stick Insects and carried on with our camouflage pictures.
