If I was a strawberry I would make me into a strawberry pie.

Our Garden

If  I was a plant I would like to be a potato plant because you make potato fritters, mash potato and make a potato cake.

Year 2 Niwa

Our Garden

If I was a plant I would like to be a fresh mango. I would like to be a mango because a mango can be multiple colours and taste delicious.  My second reason is because mangos are very popular. My last reason for being a mango is that I can be used in a healthy smoothie.

Tena Koutou Katoa

Rosebank School Values

Tena koutou Katoa

Kei te mahi tahi nga tamariki kia marama te mahi manaaki.

Manaaki mai               Respect self

Manaaki atu                Respect others

Manaaki i te taiao          Respect the environment

"Manaaki is looking after the trees" said Julissah.
How? "Stop! cutting the trees down," demanded Khloe.

"Manaaki is respecting yourself and saying nice words to other people," said Niwa.

"Manaaki is sharing," shouted Maddie.
How? "If someone has no pen, be kind enough to share a pen with them," explained Khloe.
