Building with Mr J

Mr J enjoyed making bugles so much that he really wanted to come back and make something else.

This time we used heaps more tools and made our very own foot catapults.

Thanks Mr J. DaBoyz have enjoyed these fun activities so much and have really shown so much of what they've learnt in 2017.

Making Bugles

We were very lucky this week when Mr Jacobsen came and made bugles with us. He is a bugling superstar and often treats us to a performance at assembly.
Thank you Mr J, we love annoying Miss King with our trumpeting bugles!

Gravity Trampoline Park

DaBoyz received the most amazing gift today - one hour uninterrupted free play at Gravity Trampoline Park. Miss King's friend works at the park and was able to not only secure tickets but also brand new socks!
A most wonderful experience for all of DaBoyz.

Thank you Melissa, Te Manu, Max, Harry and everyone at Gravity

#DaBoyz The Birth of a Boy Band

This year for our Manaiakalani Film Festival DaBoyz fancied getting creative and time travelling back to the 90s.
Enjoy the music, have a sing song or get up and dance - It's up to you, just make sure you enjoy the greatest Boy Band this side of the Tamaki River

Musical Madness

The theme for term 4 at Pt England is - Musical Madness. This means that we are learning lots about music. Poor Miss King needs lots of help when it comes to music, so we started simple with glockenspiels, recorders and Garageband. We have certainly had a lot of fun learning a little about these instruments and together we've even recorded a song!

Space Art

This week we have been creating some amazing artwork.  To fit with our space theme, the boys have painted pictures of rockets and planets. We worked hard to persevere through the challenges and to not let mistakes get in our way.
Everyone is very very proud of what they have created - especially Miss King

Tongan Language Week Performance

Friday saw a culmination of all the hard work our Tongan boys had been doing. They spent the week practising with the intermediate boys and performed proudly on Friday morning at assembly. Malie Tamasi'i

Because it was a sunny day....

Because it's fun, because the sun was shinning, because we wanted to, we went to build huts, climb trees and play in the mud.
Pt England is very lucky to have a small bush reserve next to school. Miss King has wanted to visit and play there for aaaages. Today was the day that the sun finally shone and we could go and play to our heart's content.

Lau 'a e Taha ki he Hongofulu

To help celebrate Tongan Language Week, #DaBoyz are very excited to share their own language with their school and the world.

Solar System Cookies

#DaBoyz are so curious about space, planets and life beyond earth. What better way to further explore our Solar System than to bake planet cookies!
