Merry Christmas from Room 9

It's our final day of Term 4, 2011 today. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. See you all in 2012 on February 2nd. We will still have work being posted up-so watch this space!

Room 9s Rugby Movie

Ever wonder what it might have been like playing rugby in 1840? Do you know how it all began? Listen as we share with you a brief explanation of what it might have looked like? And at the end of our movie, watch and quiz yourself on your knowledge of flags from around the world. Here's the clue: they're all in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

Ariana's pargraphs about P.E

Ariana has been learning to write in paragraphs. Here is her writing about P.E. Listen carefully as she shares with you what we do in P.E. Do you know what P.E stands for?

P.E is when a person learns a new skill. So they can show their friends and family. It includes passing, dribbling and jumping.

On Tuesday afternoons room 9 goes to P.E with Stephanie(from Sport Auckland). One of the games that we have learned is noodle tag, rob the nest, ball tag and traffic light. Something that Stephanie tells us, is to concentrate so we can stay safe.

This term we have learning to jump. We have to bend our knees and put our hands up in the sky. You also need to concentrate and bend your hips too so you can get to jump higher, you have to look forward. I feel happy when I do P.E. I like doing P.E with Stephanie because we do fun games and she makes me feel joyful. Jumping is hard when we use the inside of our feet.

The First Room 9 Lunchbox Heroes for 2011

Every Friday Pt England School has whole school assembly. As part of assembly, we have Lunch Box Heroes. In order for you to be a Lunch Box Hero, you have to have three things in your lunchbox.

1. Bread: A sandwich or roll
2. One piece of fruit: apples or bananas or oranges etc
3. One healthy snack: Yoghurt or crackers or cheese etc

When children's lunchboxes are checked, their names go into a draw and during school assembly if your name is drawn out, you line up and get to pick a healthy treat from the big Hero box. There are only 10 winners.
This week these are the children who were lunchbox heroes: Zane, Michael, Uli, Cyrus, Maroroa, Antonia, Brooklyn, Ariana, Sarai, Mahana, Alexis and Taimana.

Today three of Room 9 Zane, Ariana and Michael were very lucky to have their names drawn. Well done! Who will be a Lunchbox Hero next week?
