This year we will be learning reading, writing and maths all on our iPads. Make sure you keep checking in with us and see how we are progressing throughout the year.

New Beginnings.

Today I said farewell to my Pt England School family after 16 years. I am going to miss all my beautiful children, their parents, nana's, grandad's, aunts and uncles... and most of all my amazing colleagues. The quilt of my life is so much richer and brighter from my time spent within this wonderful, diverse and vibrant community. I hope to one day return and have even more experience, expertise and knowledge to share with you all. Until then, please look after yourselves, work hard, be kind and most of all 'Strive to Succeed!'

Aroha nui.

Team 1's Walk- On 'Prize Giving Movie

This past week Team 1 gave an outstanding performance at prize giving. Lead by Ms Gaston, the children sang 'Try Everything' and blew the audience away with their beautiful singing and actions. Will really miss my beautiful Tamariki and amazing teacher friends who make these occasions possible! This movie is the piece used to welcome the children on to stage before their performance.

Making Playdough - what changes can we see??

Today Room 19 explored solids, liquids and gases by making playdough! We began by looking at a recipe and writing down all the ingredients and measurements we needed. We talked about which ingredients were solids, which were liquids and watched how the water turned into a gas when we boiled the jug to make our boiling water. Next the fun began...in groups we took turns measuring, mixing and kneading the playdough. Once we had made a big ball we shared it out equally and added whatever colour food colouring we wanted. Some of us even decided to see what would happen when we mixed different colours together!

Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes!


We are in our final term and are finishing the year with a BANG by looking at states of matter and all the changes that occur in science. Last week we talked about hot/cold and heating/freezing so what better way to experience what freezing looks, feels and tastes like than by eating some ice blocks!
