Congratulations Ken And Ceazah-Blue!

At the end of last term Ken and Ceazah-Blue got certificates from Mr. Hadnett. Mr. Hadnett had counted up all the Values Vouchers students had got for Term Three. In our class Ken and Ceazah-Blue had earned the most so they got certificates!

Congratulations boys and keep up the great attitudes!

Celebrating Vaiaso O Le Gagana Samoa

This week is Samoan Language Week so in class we have been doing lots of Samoan-themed activities. Each morning we have been calling the roll in Samoan and we have been learning to say the Sign of the Cross in Samoan too.

(Can you see which teacher photobombed our picture?!)

On Monday we made Masi Samoa (Samoan Coconut Biscuits) with Miss Chan and on Wednesday, for our P.E. lesson, we got together with Miss Goodier and Room Five to play kilikiti (Samoan cricket). It was fun to wear lavalava while we played and the Room Five girls were so great at helping us to have a go at batting and fielding.

We also had some fun beginning to learn some Samoan songs and dance moves. Thank you Christina for sharing your expertise with us!

Our New Class Reps!

Today we voted for two class representatives. These representatives will meet regularly with Mrs Kopua and Mr Hadnett to talk about life at Christ the King Catholic School. They will be able to talk and listen to other reps and Mrs Kopua and Mr Hadnett about things going on in the school such as what we are doing well and what we can improve on.

Ten out of the twelve children in Room Two put themselves forward to be our class reps but we could only have two - so we had a vote.

Miss McKenna printed out pages with all the nominees photos on it and we got to circle the two we thought would be the best reps for our class. Trelia asked a great question which was "Can we vote for ourselves?" "Great question. Yes you can!" said Miss McKenna. So we all went away and secretly made our selection by circling the two photos of the students we wanted as our reps.

Miss McKenna and Miss C. were interested that some children voted for themselves - but some children voted for two other candidates.

In the end it was a close result but the girl with the most votes was Ashleigh and the boy with the most votes was Valentino. So they are our new class reps - congratulations Ashleigh and Valentino! 

Of course it is disappointing for some of us that we didn't get voted to be a class rep but we still showed lots of joy for Ashleigh and Valentino - we are happy for them and think they'll do a great job. Good luck you two!

Ashleigh and Valentino, our new class representatives!
