News Circle

First of all, a wee apology, I forgot to send home the Poem Books.  Oops!

At news circle time we are learning to be great communicators by using a loud and clear voice when we are speaking.  We are also learning that great communicators show they listen by sitting without fidgeting with our own news and by looking at the speaker.

We all had news today - absolutely brilliant!


Oliver talked about his very own torch.
He even showed us how he can take the batteries out and put them back in.
Oliver told us that his torch takes size 'double A' batteries.

Kian spoke about his giant photographs.
Here is Mr Bojangles and a crayfish.
Heads up Mum and Dad - Miss O'Neill loves crayfish!  

Makylah showed everyone her favourite blanket.
She said it was very cuddly!

Mio showed us her missing tooth!  Can you see the hole?

Xavier spoke about his trains.
He got them for Christmas from Santa!

Naai talked about his big pirate ship.
He even showed us the 3 pirates that were hiding inside!

Kaci showed us his "Firebird Pontiac".
He talked about how you can see the engine, open the doors and even the boot!

This was Nitika's first time sharing news!
She spoke about her cuddly and soft toy called Rosie.

Sophia shared her wee puppy with us!

On Monday Maddox wrote about his superhero cape, so he brought it along to share for news too!
His very clever Mum made it!

I spoke about one of our school xylophones.
Thank you, Mio, for taking the photo.

Eita just loves his 'Ultra men'.
He especially likes twisting the hips 360 degrees!  

Today we had time to use our Marble Run set.  
There was a lot of collaboration going on here.  Ka pai Room 12!


This morning the wonderful Rooms 3 and 4 hosted assembly!
Thanks guys!
