Last Day - Term 2 of 2020!

What a term! We started off Term 2 in lockdown at home and eventually came back to school in Week 5 to school. Our Room 2 Maths class soon became the new home class group so we farewelled some old faces and welcomed some new ones!

We have been able to spend a lot of time together over the past 5 weeks and to end the term after an awesome shared lunch yesterday, we had a round of Kia O Rahi with Room 5 and Tag. We kind of lost tack of the score but enjoyed the run around outside with each other.

We are all looking forward to our holiday break and getting back to school again in Term 3!

End of Term - Shared Lunch

Today we had a shared lunch to celebrate the end of Term 2. We outdid ourselves and ended up having a huge feast to share with each other - hot chips, ham rolls, cakes and even fresh chocolate brownies! There was so much food we all were aching with full stomachs. It was great to hang out and finally see the end of The Lion King!
