Rugby Prizegiving

 Thomas received most improved player at the rugby club awards held just recently. Well done Thomas for your hard work especially after you badly injured your leg last year and couldn't play any sport for ages. 

The Hamburger Bun Game

 Some of the children have been enjoying buddying up with Jordy as he plays the Hamburger Game as a Math's activity. They were all having fun playing this new game.

Bubbles Fun

 Jordy joined the Sharks reading group to share their story about how to make bubbles and then they followed the instructions and tried it out to see if they worked. They made awesome bubbles and had fun seeing who could make the longest bubble.

 

Room 4 Class Mass

 Last Friday we went to church for our class Mass in the Day Chapel with Father Michael and some people from the parish. Our theme was we are loved by God. The children did all the Readings, prayers, offertory and singing and they did such a wonderful job. It was a very special time together.

Keeping Ourselves Safe

 Constable Gwen visited our class to talk to us about keeping ourselves safe. She made us think about what we could do if we felt uncomfortable or not sure when faced with some different situations. We learned that it is always important to tell someone we trust.

Fruit Art

 Last Friday we decided to look really closely at some different pieces of fruit. We first looked at and then sketched their shape, colour and texture. Then we made a cross sectional cut through the middle to see what they looked like on the inside before carefully sketching that. It made for some amazing art.

Celebration for Confirmation

 Today we celebrated with 14 children from our school as they were confirmed by Bishop Michael. It was a very special and joyful occasion for these children and their families.

Cross Country 2020

Last Friday we had our annual school cross country over at the Rec. There was lots of great running to be seen and some superb efforts. Well done everyone.

 

Plaball Fun

Last week we enjoyed playing some new games with Liam and his playball coaches. We learned some new and fun games.

Last session for Whanau Games in Term 2

Thank you Mrs Matheson and Mr Tapp for organising the fun games we played at whanau time at the end of last term. Everyone really enjoyed them, even the little guys from Rooms 1 and 3, and had a really fun time. We hope we can do them again some time soon.

Ruby's Science News

Ruby had everyone interested in her science news when she showed us how to make some gloop with cornflour, food colouring and water. We just had to put our hands in to see how it would feel. It felt sticky but nice and smooth at the same time. Thanks Ruby.

Retelling the Pentecost story at our School Mass

Some of the children in our class acted out the coming of the Holy Spirit during our whole school Mass. Well done to these children for doing a great job of bringing the Pentecost story to life for everyone to see.
