Kia ora and welcome to room 12 - "The Opals" - Wiki Site.  =**__Great News!! -__** =

This is now truly 'OUR' site. The super people at wiki spaces have made every person of our class a unique member of Opals wiki space. To log in you need your username and password.
Your pages on the 'My Stuff' link are really starting to take off ... Keep it up.

 In Term 4 our inquiry topic will be looking at Ecological Sustainability. Why not take a family trip round Pirongia or up Kakapuku and see how many different types of native plants or birds you can recognise?

Parents and caregivers please feel free to call into our classroom and see what your precious gems are up to.

If you need to contact me about anything feel free to pop into the classroom or e-mail me at **samg@pekerau.school.nz**

Congratulations Bradley for earning the Silver Kiwi this week. Your attitude has been absolutely awesome of late and you set a great example to everyone by giving things a go and enjoying yourself while doing it. We're all really proud of your achievements.

WOW!! The Kapa Haka festival was awesome. Congratulations to the middle team students who came first. You really showed passion and energy - Well Done. Below is a photo of a few of the members of the team with thier certificates. <span style="color: rgb(216,0,255);">

Visitors in the classroom: <span style="color: rgb(255,209,0);">Thank you so much all of you who came to grandparents day. It was wonderful being able to share some of the things we are doing with you. Remember, you are more than welcome back in our classroom whenever you like (you'll be especially welcome if you bring a favourite story to read!!)

We've had a couple of really cool visitors to our classroom. First we had a visit from Mrs Dannock and her new baby. Then Lisa brought in her new puppy.
