Scavenger Hunt

The Year 3s went on a scavenger hunt around the school as a stimulating experience for our writing at the end of term 1. It was so exciting, we had a blast!

Swimming at Papatoetoe Pools

We had so much fun at the pools in Term 1- for some of us it was gaining confidence in the water, some learning new skills and others building on existing ones, but most of all having a great time!

Race Relations Day

PCS celebrates Race Relations Day

On March 21 2017 PCS celebrated cultural diversity by proudly dressing up in cultural attire. Check out the students from Room 28 in their fabulous apparel - You all look amazing!

Meet Room 28 2017

Here is our class photo as promised. Don't they look bright eyed and bushy tailed ready to start the new school year! Room 28 have been busy in the first few weeks getting settled into routines and setting goals for the year.


We're really excited about the Pasifika Showcase in Week 10 and have been learning new Niuean songs in preparation for the big day.  The links for the songs are below if you wish to help your child learn the lyrics!

The children had so much fun learning to gain confidence in the water as well as practice swimming skills. We can't wait for the next lesson! Watch this space for some pics of us in action.

Welcome to Room 28's class blog!

Welcome back to a new year. Keep checking in for exciting things to come!

We are a brand new Year 3 class of 26 students. We're culturally rich coming from a range of backgrounds - Indian, Vietnamese, NZ Maori as well as NZ European, African, Tongan and Samoan yet we celebrate that we are all New Zealanders!

Term Value: Being PCS: Our mantra - Being Polite, Considerate and Sensible kicks off term one - We are committed to being polite citizens and use our manners - saying "Please, Thank you, Excuse me and I'm sorry" when respective situations arises. We want to ensure we think of others and behave kindly. We also want to make good choices that reflect being sensible.

Being A New Zealander: This year we're looking at our local community and learn what it means to be a citizen of Papatoetoe. Watch this space - we'll post a class photo very soon! Happy New Year everyone!
