Here we are , at the end of Day 1, Week 3. Swimming is going very well although the pool temperature has dropped a few degrees. We hope it doesn't drop too much more before our Swimming display on the 28 February!
Today we did a timeline about The Treaty of Waitangi , + before and after and discovered some interesting facts surrounding it...
.eg * The first New Zealand Company ship , the "Tory", set sail from Britain in May 1839.,
* In 1814 Reverend Samuel Marsden preached the first sermon in New Zealand on Christmas Day and the local chief, Ruatara interpreted the sermon for the Maori people. This year marks 200 years since this happened and throughout New Zealand there are happenings/ celebrations planned to commemorate it.
We are beginning to draw our portraits too....quite a challenge!

Welcome Room 5 to 2014
The year started off very well, for Room 5 and the rest of the school . We were privileged to have a visit to our local Marae where Komene performed a challenge and Mr. Feasey accepted it. Later we went to the Twizel Event Centre to take part in several work shops....Poi, Waiata, Haka and Rakau. It was GREAT fun and we learned heaps!!
