Our job was to investigate some of what Mr Bremer does. We saw him welcome our guest speaker, Henare O'Keefe, at Friday 4th May's assembly. Mr O'Keefe talked about how he was the official ambassador of LOVE! He told us to be nice to everyone and to read books. Mr Bremer asked him to help give out Principal's awards. Here they are in action!
Welcome to Room 12's blog for 2016! We have an amazing class of Year 4 students. We are looking forward to a great year of learning with new activities and experiences to motivate us and extend our thinking. Have a look at our work and make a comment. We would love to hear from you!
