Team Player

This week, the Koura reading group read 'Team Player'.

Their goal was to read fluently and with expression.

Please comment and tell them how you think they did.


Here's the Koura group again, they're practising being Team Players.

A warm welcome in Room 10

We have a new class member in Room 10. We welcomed him with our class powhiri.
Can you spot him in this movie? Have you introduced yourself to him in the playground?

Autumn lunchtime fun

Look at this lovely family, they've made a nest with the leaves. I hope mother duck isn't around, she might steal it!

Fun times during lunchtime at Hamilton East School!

Our Buddy Class

Every Friday before morning tea, Room 10 and Room 13 get together to learn.

We sing and read stories and sometimes we share exciting news.

Last Friday Ms O'Neil and Ms Jones bought their ukeleles along and we sung some tunes. If you'd like to learn one of the songs we know you can find it here ...

We love Fridays!

Kauri Cricket skills

In Term 1, the whole of the Kauri Team took part in cricket skills training. We had so much fun learning to throw, catch and bat in a lot of different ways.

Last week Janice from http://hamiltoncricket.co.nz came to our Kauri Team assembly and presented us with Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates. We were so proud to receive these awards.

Where is Room 11?

Thanks Janice and the boys who coached us.
