Life at St Francis Of Assisi!

Hello Bloggers!

At St Francis Of Assisi school we have 4 hubs. They are:

Year 1 and 2’s -Kakano

Year 3 and 4’s- Piaka.

Year 5 and 6’s -Tumu (Me)

Year 7 and 8- Kaupeka

Each hub learn different things because they are different years and different ages.

Over the week, I asked some of my friends to write a question so I could answer it on one of my blog posts. Here are the questions and the answers from my friends.

The questions are in PINK.

The answers are in Blue.

Question 1: What is different about St francis of Assisi then all the other schools?

Answer: Well, St Francis Of Assisi School is different from other school’s because we do stuff differently and celebrate things differently.

Question 2:  What sort of things do you learn at St Francis Of Assisi school?

Answer:  We learn helps of cool stuff that other schools normally learn but do them differently. Some of them are:

Maths

Reading

Writing

RE

PBL

Dance

Music

Art

Question 3: What are hubs and why do you call them that name?

Answer: Firstly we have hubs so we don't’ learn the same thing if we are a bit older than others and so we play with the people that are our ages.

So like I said before we have 4 hubs. They are split from younger ones to older ones.

Secondly we have called them those names because they belong to the same family. At the start of term 2 we asked people to make up names for all the hubs. The best pones would win Movie vouches. 1 group got chosen and the names were:

Kakano

Piaka

Tumu

Kaupeka  

They are all names from trees.

Question 4: Why is this school a catholic school?

Answer:  St Francis Of Assisi school is  a catholic school because we learn RE and when we merged with Our Lady of Fatima, they were both catholic schools so we decided to keep it that way as we mostly all know about RE.

Question 5: What sort of activities do you do over the year?

Question 7: What activities do you do after school that relate to school?
