Thought we'd open our blog today with the greeting of Burma aka Myanmar :) BIG SHOUT OUT to Zung Bawm who has been teaching us his greetings :)
Ok so last week we had the awesomeness of seeing how to do a UMU. What is a "UMU" I hear many bloggers gasp. Well take a look-see at some of our school photos and just the smell of a umu will make your tummy rumble for a taste :)
Room 6 enjoyed their umu and lots of parents were at school to pick them up before the bell went. Always a good sign :)

Wow! This week has rolled around so fast there has already been so many programmes that some of our Room 6 students are involved in.
Our amazing teacher aide Matua Aaron gets to spend some quality learning and teaching time with Phoenix, last post had some pictures of Whaea Michelle taking a group for Spring Into Maths and Whaea Rachel takes several programmes involving music, literacy and maths.
This week we (Rooms 3, 7 and 6) get to take our turn at Cannons Creek pools.
So nice seeing our seniors show HEART to our juniors by helping lead them down to the pools. We look forward to 3 fine days of awesome weather this week (definitely for next week too) so we don't miss out on our swimming lessons.
