Room 3 Goes back to Kindy

Room 3 Visit Local Early Childhood Centres

Last Thursday Room3 students visited River Kids and Doubtless Bay Kindergarten in Taipa.  When we arrived at our destinations we set up our activities for the little kids.  The children tried the activities we had planned for them to do. Such as: rugby passing, making rugby people with spoons, talking about weta and showing our 3D weta art, maths games, reading stories, twister – body parts and colours in Te Reo Maori, and bean bag throwing.  After the children finished our activity we gave each child a sticker for trying their best.  All the kids smiled when we gave them a sticker, this made us feel joyful and warm inside our hearts. It was cool to hang out with the little people and make new friends.  This trip was to support our friendship unit.  We hope the little children enjoyed our visit as much as we did.

Jump Jam at Mangonui

Jump Jam plays an important part at Mangonui School. One of the Key Competencies is called Participating and Contributing (being actively involved in communities). Joining in on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for Jump Jam is a school-wide event. We even have a concrete stage that the experts use to show the rest of us the right moves.

Reading Week

Every year in the third term Mangonui School celebrates Reading Week. This is an opportunity to promote reading as a cool thing to do. Each day we had a different activity from inviting parents and caregivers to read to 'Drop Stop and Read'. We even combined Clean Up NZ Week and Reading Week together by having a 'Clean and Read' day.
