PMP activities
Room 9 enjoy going to PMP every Wednesday and Friday. We have Ms Miora and the helpers who help with this. We have great fun dong these activities. Our favorite one is the balloon hopper. It was tricky first but as we practiced it we got better at it.

What makes me happy at school ?
In Room 9, we have been sharing our thoughts and ideas about all the things we do at school that makes us happy and excited about school.
Fire Safety in Room 9
Last term we were learning about fire safety. Things we need to remember when there is a fire -
Firefighters are heroes who safe lives of people. They came to our school to talk to us about how to be safe when there is a fire.
Firefighters showing us how they get ready when there is an emergency.
Firefighters getting the water hose ready to put off the fire.
Firefighters carry lots of equipment in the fire truck It was interesting to see the inside of a fire truck.

Tongan Language Week
Last term we celebrated Tongan Language week. We all dressed up in Tongan costumes. We had a special assembly singing and doing Tongan dances.
Sustainability
Last term we have been learning about a BIG topic - SUSTAINABILITY. It was a tricky word for us in the beginning but later on we learnt how to say it, what it means and what we can do to save resources for future.
So w went for a walk around our school and found a lot of rubbish. A lot of rubbish is not good or our environment. So we had to find a way to reduce this rubbish
As a part of this topic we had to find a problem we had in our environment and what we can do solve this issue.
So we collected all the rubbish in our class bins and sorted them based on plastics, glass, wrappers, paper.
We decided to use these pots to grow plants for our Garden to Table in our school.
By doing this we are reusing the pots we threw as rubbish and also growing plants for our garden.
Our designing of our pots for growing our seeds for our school garden
Finally we planted our Broad Bean seedlings in our school garden.
We are all waiting to get back to school after the holidays to see how are bean plants are growing the school garden. Thanks to Mrs Tonga who helped us plant our seedlings in the garden.
