BADJELLY

Everyone in our school was in the production of Badjelly.

Ella was an awesome dancer and the rest of us in Room 2 were in the chorus and we sang the songs.

Mrs Groom had the job of helping with the costumes.We did our show at the Municipal Theatre in the last week of term. It was a bit scary and fun at the same time.
Here are some photos from behind the scenes.

 

SCHOOL MURAL

Have a look at our school mural. 
It's in progress at the moment and shows significant events and some of Porritt School's history over the last 40 years. 
Brendon Blair is the artist. He's doing a magnificent job. It's looking fantastic and is almost finished.

BOOK WEEK

Book week was a lot of fun.
We dressed up as our favourite book characters and paraded on the front courts in glorious sunshine.

                Here are the Junior Best Dressed. 

Spiders, Binklebonk, Cat in the Hat and Fancy Nancy.

Later in the day  we all enjoyed the BIG read on the field.

CAT in the HAT

We have been doing an author study on Dr. Suess.
We found out that he was born in America and named Theodor Suess Geisel.
When he wrote books he went by the name 
Dr. Suess or he wrote his surname backwards and went under the name - Theo Lesieg.
He loved to make up words and use rhyme in his books.
He died 34 years ago at the age of 83.

We made our own "Cat in the Hat" hats.
We looked so cool.

                            

We also did some awesome pencil sketches and made ourselves look like Cat in the Hat characters on the ipads.

                                           

                  

SHAPES

       We found out that shapes are everywhere.

   Then we made shape pictures.

BIG BREAKFAST

Last week we had a HEALTHY BIG BREAKFAST for our Junior children and whanau, as part of our Healthy Eating topic.

We started at 7:30am (although the teachers were here much earlier) and people came in and out until 8:30. 

It was awesome eating breakfast and meeting with new people and catching up with others.

Lots of children ate new things they had never tried before. For example - tamarillo, scrambled egg and baked beans, to name a few.

Many parents were amazed just how much their kids could eat!!!

KAPA HAKA

The Kapa haka festival was on last week at Tamatea Intermediate. 
It was great to see ten Room 2 kids take part in this. The performances were awesome and everyone looked great in the new costumes. 
Well done everyone. You showed great commitment to Kapa Haka for over a whole term.
