How fun! Room 14 started our very first session with the Beat Station today. We learned all about keeping the beat and explored the exciting world of percussion music.

Our tamariki absolutely loved making music together, listening carefully, and finding the rhythm. It was wonderful to see so much excitement and mahi ngātahi as everyone joined in. We are already so excited for our next sessions!

Last week was a busy one for our Omanu Chess Team, as they each played seven games in a row at the Tauranga Chesspower Regionals. All three teams received certificates of Excellence or Distinction. Gabe, Tommy, Beau and Joey's points across the day placed their team in 3rd place.

This is our third tournament of the year, and it is exciting to see the energy the players bring and the friendships they are developing with players from other schools.

Chess continues to grow at Omanu, and anyone is welcome to join in at the interval or at lunchtime outside the library.

We had a lovely celebration last week with some of our Omanu families who came from different countries. Our tamariki got to share the learning they have been doing around their culture and heritage. We had a delicious shared dinner which featured foods from many different cultures. It was lovely to see our families come together, reconnect or make new connections with each other and embrace the cultural diversity we have at Omanu.

Omanu Aces Year 5/6 girls basketball team have had a fantastic basketball season. They are an enthusiastic group of girls who played with great determination, grit and commitment throughout the season. It was fantastic to see everyone getting involved, building their confidence and developing their skills as the season progressed.

Their hard work and improvement were reflected in their final result, finishing the season with a well-deserved silver medal in their grade final. For more than half of the team, this was their first time playing basketball, making their achievements even more impressive.

Thanks to Sharon and Emy-Louise for all their hard work with the girls this season.

✨ Bringing the Northern Lights to Room 10! 🌌

As part of our Middle School study on world cultures and countries, Room 10 has been exploring the magical land of Iceland! 🇮🇸

Inspired by the famous Northern Lights, our talented artists created their very own Aurora masterpieces using chalk pastels. The students practised blending, shading, and smudging light and dark colours together using cotton balls and their fingers to capture that stunning glowing effect. 🎨✨

We are so proud of their hard work—check out how bright and beautiful they turned out!

Tauranga Book Battle!

Omanu B placed first, and Omanu A placed second out of 26 teams!

All contestants prepared for the Tauranga Book Battle (organised by the NZ Literacy Association) by reading 5 novels throughout the term and then developing questions for each other to answer as their lead-up.

On the day, they had questions about each novel and a round of general book and English Language knowledge questions to answer.

Omanu A had a tie-breaker and stormed through to finish second, only a point behind Omanu B, the competition winners!

Massive thanks to Michelle and Charlotte, who provided transport, supervision, and cheerleading support on the day! Thank you also to Ms Bron for her work to prepare the teams for this competition!

Our Year 0/1 students had an absolute blast celebrating Cultural Week! Thursday was extra special as classes rotated between teachers to explore traditions from every corner of the globe. From dancing the Samoan Sasa and the Mexican Hat Dance to crafting African necklaces, trying Indian Rangoli art, exploring Antarctica, learning Spanish, and sampling delicious Swedish cinnamon buns—it was an action-packed day of discovery. Check out these highlights of Room 13 joining in the fun!
