Feed the Need - Free soup in school

Talofa Lava family, 

Free food in schools is a dream come true to these students at Rowandale School.

Free feed for Rowandale Students - Feed the Need

We are so lucky to be getting free soup at our school 3 times a week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday at lunchtime each student at Rowandale School receive a free soup. The Cheeky Cheetahs are excited to be getting a free feed especially in this cold weather. 

A few of the Cheeky Cheetah's enjoying the free feed.

Some Cheeky Cheetah's enjoyed it so much they wanted more.

Duffy Assembly

Giant Killer was our Duffy role model today at Assembly. He performed an awesome rap made up of words that he thought of on the spot.
We were excited about decorating our Duffy Box and couldn't wait to get our two books from inside. Thank you Duffy!
Congratulations also to Frelex Mikaele for recieving our class Duffy Award.
Here are a few photos of our Duffy Assembly.

Well done to all the teachers and students for the creative designs that we saw in decorating your Duffy Box. A big Kia Ora to Kungfu Pandas for being the winners!

Tie Dye Background Self Portraits

In Visual Art, we have been focusing on sketching, colouring one way, creating our own patterns and designs to represent ourselves and our culture. During our Self Portrait lessons we required a lot of focus, determination, motivation, encouragement from our peers and patience to complete our art piece. Our medium that we used included colouring pencils, vivid and dye. 

Check out our Tie Dye Background Self Portraits. Do you think we still look the same?

ASB Get Wise (Financial Literacy)

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

On Monday we had Jeremy from ASB Get Wise visit our class and school for the first time. He talked to us about money. His job is to go around to schools to teach students about saving money. 

I learnt a lot of information that morning about how to make money and different ways to save money. Some of the ways to make money included doing chores like folding the washing, washing the dishes or cleaning the house. Another way to make money is helping out in the neighbourhood, for example mowing the lawns, painting a fence or babysitting.

I found selling and trading an exciting way to make money. This includes things like having a garage sale, bakery sale or selling lemonade to family members. It is important to start saving now so you have some money for yourself when you grow up. 

I get money for doing chores and helping around the house. I now know the importance to spend some for me, and save some too. Thank you Jeremy for teaching me about saving money!

Second Week of Swimming

This week for swimming we learnt how to enter the pool correctly using the 3/4 turn. 

We continued our learning with using the flutter board and even got the chance to streamline without using it too. 

We really enjoy swimming and our teacher thinks we are getting better at it. Check out our improvement!
