Perseverance Assembly

Kakano 2 and 3 led an assembly about Perseverance.  

We had a lot of fun and we did a great job.  We really loved watching everyone try our bim bum biddy song - it took a lot of perseverance to learn.  A few kids deserve extra special mentions.  Keely, Hayden, Thomas and Zoe jumped in at the last minute to cover parts for people who were away. You were amazing and so cool, calm and collected.  You really are good at staying in the green!

Unfortunately, Mrs Ts camera did not play nicely so we missed quite a few shots but we took some memory shots after the assembly.  These kids are so funny - you can see so much personality!  The real action photos at the bottom were taken by Mrs Ts trusty assistant, Tirama. Thanks, Tirama!  Miss Ryan also managed to grab a video of our Bim Bum Biddy song - we'll post that soon!

Thank you to the family and friends who came to support us on Friday. We have another assembly this Friday! Everyone gets another opportunity to see us shine.

Week 5 Term 2 2021

 

This week is Samoan Language Week. This year’s theme for Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language Week 2021 is Poupou le lotoifale. Ola manuia le anofale which means strengthen the posts of your house, for all to thrive.

When you’re building a foundation for a fale (house) it can’t have a weak foundation or posts. This is the same for the foundations of our families, schools and churches that play an important role in strengthening Gagana Samoa (the Samoan Language). Language is important for the foundations of our overall well being.

 

Here are some youtube links to hear and learn the song, 'Le Aute':

Kakano 3 Lunchtime Chaos

 Mrs T took an ipad on duty on Monday and Tuesday so that you could see our monkeys in action with their friends. She saw games of Lava Monster, acorn collectors, hand games, dirt pies being made in a kitchen, monkeys swinging on the bars and people playing in the autumn leaves.  We are having so much fun playing with our friends. The boys used rock paper scissors to sort out turns, people were inviting other kids to play and explaining the game to new players...  Mrs T is really pleased with the caring and sharing that she saw.
