Room 1 Whole School Assembly

 

Room 1 were lead by Ray and Sefo in hosting the Week 5 Whole School Assembly. They showed a bit of nerves but spoke clearly in all of their parts to lead the acts, karakia and waiata. Room 1's class item was sharing their "wins" from the 2022 Commonwealth Games. I found it particularly interesting learning about the South Pacific Islands. Room 1 presented their learning on colourful A3 posters about New Zealand, Niue, Samoa, Tonga and a few other places. 

Mrs Hamilton introduce the Prefects with their new shirts. They look very nice with the white and reflective detailing. They also have "PREFECT" printed on the back. The prefects are allowed to wear these whenever they want or when Mrs Hamilton needs them to. 

My class did an awesome job to prepare and present. Everyone showed great leadership, teamwork and played their part in contributing to the assembly. Foli and I'Ola were great directors in the lead up, while many others stepped up to present, write a script or refine what it was they wanted to share. 

Ka rawe, Room 1!

This Padlet was created to share our findings for the statement "The World's Biggest Problem". We are looking at this statement as part of our persuasive writing and reading. We discovered some very interesting facts about the world, especially some misconceptions people have about these problems. The website we used is called Gapminder. You should have a look for yourself!

Persuasive Writing: I find it annoying when ...

This is my persuasive writing for this week about a couple of things I find really annoying. The focus was to use emotive language to persuade others to empathise or feel what I'm feeling. 

What pet peeves do you have?
