Learning Intention and Success Criteria

Lily justified why she liked the slippers.


Zaylin used appreciate as her compliment.

Esi thinks the slippers are fluffy and warm.  

Julissah demonstrated her appreciation by saying ''Rachel was the best". 

Julez was able to say his sentence and was supported by a tuakana to publish his letter.

Faith used a simile and compared the slippers to lightning.     

Roman was able to describe the slippers.


Tai used fluffy and big to describe the special slippers.

Did you know kia ora can also mean thank you.

Week 8 Special Visitors from Sika

Tena Koutou Katoa

Room 25's Famous Chilly Bin

Last week three special visitors from Sika made another one of their regular visits to Rosebank School.  

We were overwhelmed with a donation of $1000 for our school library, 10 worm farms complete with worms, six Sika rugby balls, lots of different vegetable plants for our marakai, (garden) chocolates for all and Mr Robertson's  famous chilly bin full of ice blocks. 

Room 25 and 26 demonstrated Manaaki mai (respecting ourselves) and Manaaki atu (respecting others) by sharing our culture with our friends. Matua Paora blessed our class mural with a karakia and we all sang a waiata to make our guests feel welcome.

Nga mihi koutou Sika and friends

Happy students. Happy teachers. Happy School.
