Duffy

Duffy Comes to Rowandale School!

Yesterday we were treated to Duffy Theatre.  It was a very funny show and the message to us all was how reading can teach us so many things!

Today we had another visitor to our school.  Mr Michel Mulipola was our Duffy Role Model.  He is a very talented cartoonist who also talked to our children about the importance of reading.

At the end of the day everyone went home with 2 brand new books!  Taffiny has been working so hard learning her high frequency words at school and at home that she received a certificate and an extra book.  Well done Taffiny!

It was like Christmas when we opened the box and saw our books.  Thank you Duffy and Books in Homes! 

Flight

We have been busy learning about flight this term.  One of the activities we have done is to make paper planes and test them to see which designs fly better and why.

Here we are making and testing our planes.

Tongan language Week

6th September

Malo e lelei,
Last week we celebrated Tongan Language Week as a school!  
In Room 3 we learnt a greeting song. 
We hope you enjoy it.

We also made a tapa cloth.  Every class  at Rowandale made one and they were joined together to make a huge school  tapa which was on display at Friday's assembly.  
Thank you to those Room 3 families who came along to join us in the celebrations.
