Welcome to the Tumanako Syndicate page, featuring Year 3 and 4 children from Rooms 14, 15 and 16.
Well done to our 12 Scripture Cup Finalists who all read very well. You should all be proud of yourselves. Thank you to Mrs Siluuga for being our judge. You had a very hard task selecting the winner. Congratulations to our three top finalists. First place MAYNARD SAGAOINIT. Second place, KAIARAHI KINGI and in third place JENSENLANZ GALLARDO.
What a lovely Mass this morning shared with the Holy Cross parish community. Thank you to the Year 7 girls who played the guitars for us and also did the Altar serving. Thanks to all the children who read, sang and participated in the Offertory procession. Thank you Fr Iosefa for your inspiring words of wisdom for the children. I’m sure they won’t forget the message of today’s Gospel. To our parents and families, thank you for always supporting us in all we do. We ask God to continue to bless us all as we prepare for our upcoming feast day. God is good, all the time.
WE made our monsters out of popsicle sticks and cardboard. Everyone had their own ideas of how their monster would look. We were so impressed with our final products.
Congratulations to AYVA COLLINS, UIESE AHOVELO & DAVID LATU who are the new class captains for Room 14. Thank you for committing to this responsibility and being a role model for your peers.
God bless you all.
Greetings one and all,
This term we have exciting events planned. First of all it’s BOOK WEEK and we are focusing on a book called ‘THAT’S NOT THE MONSTER I ORDERED’. We have started the week with Assembly and a mystery monster in a box. There are a variety of activities put on by the Literacy PLG team including a scavenger hunt around the school. The classes in Tumanako are focusing on different books. In Room 14 we are looking at the book called ‘RAINBOW MONSTERS LOVE COLOURS’. This has got the children thinking about the adventures that their colour monster can get up to. Have a look at our class monster in the photo he is full of monster-related words… and keen to have some colourful monster friends. The Room 14 children have chosen a colour for their monsters and will be writing and creating ideas for what ‘their monster’ will look like.
Next Monday we begin our free Community swim programme. Room 14 will be swimming at 9.30am, Room 15 at 10.00am and Room 16 at 10.30am. We will be at the Papatoetoe Centennial pools. Please ensure that your child has all the requirements they need for this awesome event. Please return the permission slip back to the classroom teacher as soon as possible. More updates to follow.
We look forward to working with you all this term and thank you for your support.
May God bless us all, from the Tumanako team
