It is the first out of seven pacific language weeks to be held this year so people have been learning some words to say all around our country.

For this years Samoan language weeks theme is "weaving an environment for a better future" so try and learn some Samoan words for the weekend so you can tell it to your family and see if they know what you are saying.

                                   

Tech

Yesterday Room 12 went to tech for our second to last week with our tech teacher, we painted or wooden clocks that we made our self (my one was a dog that has a donut on his head.)

We had been painting the whole time at tech and didn't get to put the front part of the clock with the other parts. We did finish painting our front part of our clocks so next week we can make a fully working clock, then we went back to our class and went back to school to have our lunch.

  

Powhiri Time With The ERO

This Morning Ruapotaka met some Visitors from ERO ( Education Review Office) the man's name was Richard and the woman's name was Pam.

We first welcomed them in to our school with a fantastic greeting, then they introduced them self to us and then Sosiua told Mrs Hamilton to stand up so that she could tell us that they will be here till Thursday.

When we were done Jessica told the ERO people that they could leave while all the classes sang a song for them, after they went Jessica told the classes to go back to their class room to do some more learning.
