Black Out Mufti Day

Today, we proudly came to school dressed in black to support the All Blacks making it to the finals of the world cup.  Thank you to everyone who brought a gold coin donation to school today.  Your contribution is greatly appreciated and will go towards supporting Ray Hammond & Louisa Wall to acquire incubators for premature babies.   Have a fantastic weekend and GO THE ALL BLACKS!!!

Our first class music lesson

This term for topic we are focussing on Music.  We have had specialist music teachers from Jelly Beans come in and take our class for music lessons.  Music is a popular topic in our class and we have all enjoyed learning how we can create our own music.  

 We are learning to create our own rhythms using different kinds of percussion instruments.  Can't wait for our next lesson.  Come back and check out what we get up to next.

Kia ora Fakaalofa lahi atu Malo e lelei Talofa

Welcome back to all our students! I have enjoyed hearing about how you spent your school holidays. Our first week back at school we immersed ourselves in the Niuean culture to celebrate Niuean Language Week.  Students learnt basic greetings, proverbs and the Niuean National Anthem.  

The whole school participated in a flag raising ceremony and listened to our senior students share interesting facts about the island of Niue.  We were also lucky to hear Mr Vasau and Miss Fuataga talk about their experiences and pride in their Niuean culture.  Did you know that Mr Vasau was the first Niuean principal in New Zealand?

Together we learnt the Niuean tradition of weaving using coloured paper.  Towards the end of the week we combined our individual work to create a whole class weaving display.
