A Leadership Role for our Syndicate Assembly

E


It was Room 22's turn to run assembly for the Year 4 Syndicate. Because the class is composite Year 3 and 4, the class decided to select a boy and girl from each year to represent us. Jack, Lydia, Jake and Miyuki rehearsed their role as presenters while James mastered the ICT needed to run the assembly. He enjoys working on the computer.  Robert took the photographs that we are publishing today. 






After singing our national anthem, we shared our Fair Inquiry movie. Then we learned a new waiata named Tama Ngakau Marie. You can find it on Utube with the lyrics. 
After singing, we had a special presentation by Elena and Nikau. They were dressed up in Russian national dress. Elena told us about Siberia because we are writing a Reader's Theatre based on a Siberian Legend.  


Elena and Nikau took turns to tell us about Siberia. We looked on the World map to see for ourselves just how much land area Siberia covers. Elena told us that her grandmother made her dress and that she was very clever when it came to sewing. We all agreed. 


A Visit From Ms Steel

    



We post some images taken during Tracey Steel's visit with Room 22. Ms Steel was able to present the sports awards and listen to the children discuss their School Fair Inquiry work. She had enough time to listen to some of the stories that the children had been writing during the week.
