Our Learner Attribute focus this term is, "I am Connected." As part of our Positive Purpose Digital Technologies Student Council Group, we have been focused on being connected with other schools.
Our friends at Brindas School in France have started their new school year and we wanted to send a quick note to say bonjour!
They have made a movie for us. You can see it on their blog: http://cm1.galligani.eu/auroa-school/friends-2019-2020/
We’re going tell you some stuff that we do at Worser Bay School these days.
First things first, we have 3 classes called Māhutaunga Matariki, Tautoru and Autahi. Autahi is for 5 year olds, Tautoru is for 6 and 7 year olds and Māhutaunga Matariki is for 8, 9 and 10 year olds. Fun Fact: All our classes are named after some Māori stars. Our school is on a hill, it's a small hill and small school but it is a good school. We learn Māori for one of our languages. We also say Māori phrases as well. We have sausages for lunch on Tuesdays if we pay $2. Sometimes we have pizzas on Wednesday, if you pay $5.
Please ask us any questions!
Angus
Dear Friends,
How are you?
Here's an update, because it was a long time since we contacted you last
Lately we have been to the local Museum (Te Papa.)
We also had an Art Celebration where we displayed some art that we made. We did swimming sports and are looking forward to a beach week and sailing at the end of this term.
We are also looking forward to our school fair.

Dear Friends in France,
Did you have the School holidays? well if you did I hope you have had a good time. One of the things that we are doing is one of our teachers, John, reads us a story every day.
Do you have an inquiry? Well, if you do, I would love to know. We have been learning about Space and now we are thinking about Māori navigators.
At our school we have a school fair and a Poetry night. On the poetry night we make little books and then read our poems to the adults.

how are you?
Yesterday I had my road patrol training. We help students to cross the road before and after school.
I am really looking forward to our school fair. It is coming up really soon. In a few weeks we have senior beach week and we get to go sailing. Has anything exciting happened to you?

Hello Ethan.
ReplyDeleteNous faisons quelque chose de rare dans une école en France : nous apprenons un vrai haka.
Thank you all for this post !

Dear friends from New Zealand,
ReplyDeleteWe all go well. Thank you for writing for us a so interesting post. We are probably the only primary class in France to learn a real haka. We are very proud to get news from you.
You are very friendly !

"Has anything exciting happened to you ?" asked Ethan :
ReplyDeleteWe play rugby every Monday. With a professional musician, we have music class every Friday. Two years ago, the whole school participated in a very big concert.
