Pasifika Study Performance ☺☺

Today at assembly each class had to perform a item based to Samoa & Tonga. First Room 1 performed a traditional Samoan dance called the Sāsā, followed on by 5,6,7,9,10,12 the one that interested me the most was Room 6 there performance was good and their Tongan & Samoan outfits. Then at last it was room 12's turn to perform we sang a song called 'How Far I'll' go from the Moana movie. At first I was nervous but then later I be came confident. I really enjoyed the performances from the other classes today.

First Day Of Term 3

Today our holidays finished and we are now back to school ready for term 3. Once the bell rang, we all lined up outside Room 12 to do our morning fitness. After we finished our 10 minutes of running we all went back to our classroom and carried on with our maths. After morning tea, we did our reading for 25 minutes and then went back to our classroom. Some people received books at assembly and we finished the day of with blogging.
