This weeks Super Star!

Well done Ellen! You received this week's Mana award.

We are so lucky to have you in Room 8.

Our Heritage

Turangawaewae - A place to stand.

"I am a strong learner when I know who I am, where I am from and what my place is in my world."

 In Room 8 we talked about where we were born and where our family is from. It was fun learning about each other and sharing all about our families. We found out that some of us were born overseas and some of us speak a different language at home.

This weeks Super Stars

Congratulations to Melissa and Indi who are this weeks Shining Stars in Room 8.

Teddy Bears Picnic

The Year 0 and Year 1 classes had a Teddy Bears Picnic on Tuesday and it was so much fun!

We had teddy bear races, we sang songs, we danced to the Gummy Bear song and at the end we listened to a story while we ate our morning tea.

What an awesome morning Rooms 8, 9a, 10 and 13 had together! 

Our trip to Te Tahawai Marae

Room 8 and Room 10 had a fantastic time at Te Tahawai Marae. We learnt all about the tukutuku patterns that are displayed around the room inside the marae. We found out that they tell a story just like books do in the library. 

The name Te Tahawai comes from the meaning - edge of the water. That is why the school is named Edgewater College.

We had a great time drawing our own koru and kowhaiwhai patterns.
