Amazing Arewhana Week 3

PAPATOETOE CENTENNIAL POOLS & LEISURE CENTRE
Amazing Arewhana are lucky enough to be part of the Swimming Programme at these pools. Our first lesson was to be put into 'Swimming groups' of 
HOW WELL WE CAN SWIM.
So firstly we had to swim in twos for up to 30 metres, with lots of splashing and laughing we were told 1 or 2 or 3. Once that was done we were told to go to the Swimming instructors who were 1, 2 or 3 and then we would start our learning.
Some children were a bit worried that they would not touch the ground at first, but once they got over the fear of being at a new environment, they were able to trust and believe that they could stand up.
We can't wait for our next swimming lesson too.

PERCY & HETTIE & CHICKENS FEEDING & CLEANING...
This week is our turn for keeping our farm animals feed and environment clean. We were so excited as we have never been up that close and personal touching our Pigs. It was lots of fun.
We also went hunting for eggs. Our chickens are not your normal average chickens that lay their eggs in their 'normal area of space', they are laying eggs in the flax which is so funny and cool.
We really have enjoyed doing our part for Rowandale School to have our animals cared for, just like us.
We were lucky enough to get an egg too...YAY!!

PARK AND WALK
THANKS TO THE TRAVEL WISE TEAM AND MR SAVAGE FOR ORGANISING THIS. WE DID OUR SAFE WALKING TO SCHOOL.
This morning we had eight children from Rm 15 Amazing Arewhana who walked from the Rowandale Reserve to our Rowandale School. 
We were lucky enough to have our Police Officers present to help us walk across the road by the big Round about. They were at our school for 'Road Patrol training'. We are so lucky to have support to help our children be safe when walking to school and how to cross the roads in our area of Manurewa. Keep it up Rowandale School and especially Amazing Arewhana.

Amazing Arewhana Term 2 has started and Amazing Arewhana have already shown our team 'ROCKETEERS' that we mean business... By walking to the our assembly quietly, sensible, and paying attention to where we were walking, we were given the award for  'BEST CLASS AWARD'. We were told that we came into the hall quietly and sat up straight away and continued to do so throughout the Assembly. We were very happy. We will continue to set the bar for our 'Rocketeers' Team. We have a new 'Team Leader', Mrs Turu. She has come from 'High Flyers' and has accepted the role of being our Team Leader. We are really excited to have her in our team as she has started the 'Tidy Kiwi' Award, which means our classes and cloak bays need to be clean all the time and we will be told who the winner is at each assembly. We will always be trying to keep our class clean inside and outside our classroom. We also have a new teacher in our team. She is in

Welcome to Room 15 - Amazing Arewhana in the making!!!!

Our first week at school. On our first day back to school, we were all nervous firstly because our teacher was new to our school, and secondly we were all going to be in a new block. Our first day was a good day. Through the week we started talking about our 'branding name'. Our teacher used statistics, by making a tally graph and then a bar graph we had managed to find our name. Unfortunately our first name was not chosen because it was a name used in 2016. So we put our heads together again and our teacher said that we could be like elephants as they have great memories. Therefore our name emerged to 'Amazing Arewhana' (Elephants) based on holding on to great memories in the making. Hope you enjoy our 2017 journey. Signing out. Amazing Arewhana.
