Sports Skills

We have been very lucky to have had 2 sessions of sports skills at the beginning of the school year - one from Jess from Cricket Otago and the other from Ben and Jordan from Playball. We learned some new warm up activities and some fun skills activities.

Whanau Games Fun

What a wonderful time was had by everyone at our whanau games afternoon last Friday. A big thank you to Mrs Matheson and the senior students in Room 7 who organised the activities for us - we really enjoyed them.

Whanau Fun

Last week at whanau time we had fun playing some co operative games where we had to talk and listen to each other and work together to be able to complete our tasks. There was lots of laughter especially with the passing the hoop without letting go of your partners hands activity.

Praying the Rosary Together

Each morning during the month of October we gather together as a whole school to pray the Rosary. Each class takes a turn to lead the special story or mystery of the day. The children are getting very good at praying using the rosary beads and afe learning about a very special traditional prayer of the Church as well

Room 4 Class Mass

Thank you Father Michael for helping us celebrate our special class Mass in the Day Chapel. The children did all the special prayers, readings, offertory procession, a play about the Last Supper and sang beautifully. They were a credit to their family and our School.

Addison's Science News

Addison had us very interested in her science experiment at news time last week when she told us she was going to put 2 pencils through a plastic bag of water and she wouldn't spill a drop. We weren't quite sure about this thinking it might turn out with a big spill all over the floor but she proved she knew what she was doing. Thank you Addi for such interesting news.

Kora entertains Room 4

Kora entertained us recently when she showed us how well she can play the drums. We were very impressed with the way she could keep the beat with her hands and her feet all at the same time. Wow you are very talented Kora.
