Greetings everyone,
I cannot believe how quickly the year is evaporating. We have just over four weeks till end of term. The weather has been very kind up until now
and hopefully we will have a much milder winter than last years. I was impressed with the soccer field day last week. It was running well and all
the children from the Te Atatu schools all looked great in their gear and were to be having a good time. Many thanks to the organiser, Ms Naylor
and thanks to Mrs Mays and parents for helping. Finally, when our fencing work starts outside the special needs unit entrance on Edmonton Rd,
please use the carpark with extra care. With all the changes going on in Education at the moment, please feel free to pop in and see me for a
chat or a catch up. I enjoy meeting and talking to parents and visitors alike, you are all welcome to our school.

FANTASTIC FISH POEMS BY ROOM 11 STUDENTS
These poems have been inspired by our study topic ‘Fish.’
I am slimy and sticky.
I have a pointy head.
There’s only one that has a
pointy head in the water.
I’m a squid!
I like eating angel fish and octopus.
I don’t look like I do much but I actually
spending lots of time sticking onto
rocks.
That way, nobody can take me away!
Joshua
I’m a male seahorse.
I have spikes on my back and
pouch on my belly.
I have a tail to hang onto seaweed.
I hide under rocks when
I’m in danger of sharks.
Me and other seahorse
move around in the sea
in a group,
so we can be safe.
By Jacob
I am a fish that looks like a star.
Can you guess what I am?
I am a starfish!
I live on the bottom of the deep
blue sea.
All I do is lie on the bottom of the
sea doing nothing.
Nothing at all.
By Maggie
I am a great white shark.
I am very very dangerous.
I kill my predators
and I sneak behind other fish,
especially the juicy fish
To EAT them up!
By Edward
I am a sting ray.
I like to eat clown fish
And I kill eels and baby fish.
I live in the deep blue sea.
No fish wants to come closer to me
Because you’ll get stung by me!
By Adrian
I am glowing beautiful angel fish.
I am purple with four yellow stripes
on both sides
And a really really cute big mouth.
I swim very slowly because I have
no fins at all!
I eat seaweed and little soft plants
off the rocks.
