Mathletics and Reading Eggs have continued to be useful tools that we use daily to support our learning.

 "Working together makes it easier for us to learn because we can support each other"

WRITING

We continued to learn to use better words in our writing to make it much more interesting to read.

Here's one of our writing sample

One cloudy day we were inside watching TV. We heard the clouds roaring at us from above as the rain smashed onto buildings and houses.

I went to grab something to eat when I heard an elephant communicating with another elephant. When I got back from eating there was a power cut. It was so dark that we had to navigate using our sense of feeling. by Michael

WHAT DID WE GET UP TO IN WEEK 8? What an eventful week!

Clendon Park School Fiafia Night

Some of our Ninjas in the Pasifika group proudly represented our school with an amazing Samoan item at the Clendon Park School Fiafia night. Thank you Miss Manuele for organising this great opportunity for us to showcase our talents and share with our community.

We continued to work together to learn about fractions

We also completed a revision task to see how much we have learned about fractions

We used the MATHLETICS programme on our devices to reinforce our learning.

We have to apply our knowledge of fractions taught in class to solve given equations/problems in Mathletics.

BUDDY CLASS - Tumeke Taniwhas

We met to practice our assembly items and we also enjoyed our milk together.

Our skilled dancers were leading at the front so our younger buddies can learn the actions by imitating them.

Yummy MILK

GLASSES GRADUATION

Four of our Ninjas were so lucky to receive their sponsored glasses at our Glasses graduation.

We are so privileged to receive such amazing gifts that will help our students to learn better.

Our special guests at assemblywere: 

Ms Kumuda Setty from the Essilor Foundation

Ms Louisa Wall - our Manurewa Labour MP

Ms Heather Laird and team from Frith and Laird Optometrists

Alison Kearney from Massey University

John and Michael from Media works

We also had Newshub, Te Karere, and Maori TV

Whaea Lois did a wonderful job leading our assembly and we also acknowledge the hard work she has put into liaising with these agencies in order for us to receive our glasses. 

Thank you Whaea Lois!

Thank You again to Feed the Need programme for the nice warm lunches this week

BASKETBALL

What a great way to round off the week with a friendly game of BASKETBALL of boys versus girls.

We still need to refine our dribbling, passing and shooting skills so we can be just as good as Stephen Curry. 

He is Ninja Tysons' favourite player.

 Hard earned quarter, time to regroup
