Better Late than Never!

Well it has take us until Term 4 to update our Blog but better late than never!
Welcome to Room 19 2010!
This year has been a really busy one! We visited the Maritime Museum last term and learnt about how and why people moved to NZ!




As part of our topic last term we also made satchels which were decorated with designs from the country we came from. Inside the satchels were a flag from our country of origin, a map and an ID card. Here are some photos of our sharing day.






Below are some comments from the children about last term:
