It's great to be back at FBS! Cleo, KC and Non Non were the first three back on Monday. On Tuesday Maata, Kristopher, Folau and Irae were back at school too. We also got to hang out with Fusion and Damascus from Room 13 too. We miss the rest of our classmates and look forward to seeing you again soon...

  

This week we worked with the AMAZING Mrs Tupou in our FBS garden. We potted thyme to take home to share with our aiga. We picked cherry tomatoes and rosemary from the school garden to eat too! 

   

We finished colouring in our animals for our 'Giraffes Can't Dance' mural that we created with Mrs Mafileo. We glued our animals onto the finished painting and put it up on our class wall too. It was hard work!

In Room 12 we know we come to school to learn!

Our Community Swim sessions begun this week! We love being able to get out into our local Otara Leisure Centre, working with our super swimming instructors. Check out our photos above.

Room 12 students have our Community Swim session on Thursdays from 10.30am-11am. 


We leave school at 10am and return to FBS by 11.30am. Please ensure your child brings their togs, a towel and a swimming bag (for wet togs and towel) to school EVERY THURSDAY.


This term we have been exploring our artistic skills drawing self portraits, thinking about what makes us special, sketching our families members and writing about our favourite place. In Room 12 we know we come to school to learn! 


We ended the week off with a bang, celebrating the learning of Kristopher and Mahkaylah-Raven in Room 12 at our Team Whanake Talanoa. Congratulations!

It's great to be back to at FBS for face to face learning! We've had a great first couple of days back at school. We're getting to know each other and settle into our new 2022 school routine. 


We'll continue to keep ourselves and others safe by wearing a mask while we are at school, social distancing (where possible), keeping our classrooms well ventilated, and working outside as much as we can. Washing our hands before we eat, sanitising our hands before entering the classroom and sneezing/coughing into our elbow are what we do too to fight Covid-19. 


Mrs Mafileo is looking after our AMAZING Room 12 learners until Miss Patterson returns to school. How lucky are you!
