Room 8 - Term 1
Room 8 has had a busy term of
learning. We started by getting to know each other and our teacher (Miss Fisher) and
familiarising ourselves with the Poutama Syndicate culture.
We have been focusing on the
pillars of 'Manaakitanga' which describes a broad cultural concept around
kindness, respect and humanity. We have been practicing Manaakitangi in
everyday life by interacting with people through greetings, friendship,
respect, sharing and caring for the environment.
During our Sea Week focus in
early March (a nationwide celebration of our marine environment), we learnt
about marine life, their habitats and the rules around catching your fair share
of seafood (Kia Moana) and the minimum sizes allowed by law, so we act responsibly
to conserve and sustain our natural resources.
We all participated in the
Poutama Syndicate triathlon on Friday 1st March which was alot of fun and there
was a great turnout by the proud parents cheering us on. The triathlon
helped us to be more active, participate in something different, compete
against our peers and enjoy ourselves and we had a great time.
In writing we have been learning
about similes, a way of comparing two nouns that are unlike, with
"like" or "as." For example "The water is sparkling
like the sun" is an example of a simile because water and the
sun have little in common, yet they're being compared to one
another. Similes make our language more descriptive and enjoyable.

Beach Clean
To conclude our topic of "Citizenship", the whole of Poutama syndicate did a "beach clean". Some classes walked to Waikanae Beach, collecting rubbish on the way. Others drove to Midway Beach and collected rubish along the beach to Midway. Once there we made huts, played on the playground and enjoyed a yummy lunch.
