We had a great day last Friday for Pet Day. Everyone worked so hard to make their creations and all had great fun doing it. Check out some of our creations.

Last term we worked really hard to create our rainforest collage. We think they look great!

Thank you to Lyndle, Marian and Fiona for sewing the girls costumes and Jenny helping with pois. Thanks to Julie who was our photographer on the night.

What a busy start we have had to this year already. We have just had a fantastic camp with Room 9 & 10 joining us at Papamoa. The children loved the jet boat ride, the walk up the Papamoa Hills and the visit to Comvita to see the BEES. This all could not have happened without our wonderful parents. We saw lots of childen meeting challenges such as being extremely brave and being away from their parents for two nights, zooming down the hydroslide at Baywave or going really fast on a jet boat!

Soon we will be attending the Life Education Van where the children will be learning how we are all individuals and different and that is okay.They will also be learning  about the body and especially the brain.

On Wednesday the 23rd of June the whole school had a Fifa World Cup day. It was held on the two fields. We had it because of the Fifa World Cup being on and New Zealand is in it. Before the day we were put into countries so we could come dressed up in their colours. There was lots of red and blue and white. Our team was Brazil. We had to wear yellow tops and the hardest teams we were playing against were Korea, Serbia and France. We came 2nd but Korea came 1st by 1 more point than us. We won lots, drew twice and lost a few. After it finished we felt exhausted but proud and we had an absolutely awesome day.

Room 11 have been learning about Maori Legends. They retold the legend of Maui and the Fish, when Maui went fishing and caught a large fish. This fish turned into the North Island of New Zealand. For art, they got into pairs and they recreated one part of the legend using water colours and collage. These painting were then put into a slide show so the children could retell the legend.
