Michael's trip to MOTAT

Michael is apart of the Stars writing group. They have been learning to add detail to the front of word groups to write interesting sentences. Here is what Michael has written.

We learned how to speak appropriately at MOTAT. In our groups we had to listen carefully. Room 9 and 10 had to take responsibility when working together.

On Wednesday we went to MOTAT. I went to the mirror maze. I walked and people were smiling at the mirrors. I was laughing.

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?

Welcome to Room 9 Michael

Michael has come from Room 6 at Pt England School. Have a wonderful 2011!
