100 day celebration

We had a great day for our 100th day at school. We bought in 100 things and then counted them.  The counting was in 2's, 5's 10's. 20's 25's and 50's. Then our buddy class and the other Year 2 classes came and visited and looked at what we had done.

There also was time for sharing food and we really enjoyed everything that was bought in. A big thank you to all the parents!!!

Samoan Language week

Week 5 at Owairaka was Samoan Language week. We celebrated by learning some Samoan songs, doing some art and having a special Samoan assembly. Please check out the photos below.



Cross Country - Rimu team

We have all been training super hard for Cross Country.

We do this before lunch time each day as long as it hasn't been raining!

Seven year olds run twice around the school (starting by the junior playground, around the classrooms and back to the junior courts). Six year olds can choose to run once or twice. Finally the five year olds run once around the school.

Cross country day is on Wednesday 19th June with a rain day of 20th June.

The Sun Term 2 Week 1



We all enjoyed our first week back. Room 14 have started learning about Space. This week we learnt a lot of things about the Sun. For example the Earth can fit in the Sun 1 million times!!! We also learnt that we couldn't live without the Sun as it gives us heat and light.
