Happy 7th Birthday Flinn. We know you will have a good day.

Flinn has made this awesome pic collage to share with us about Manaakitanga. Kei whea mai Flinn.

Junior Run for Fitness

Families are invited to come to support children in the Rooms 2 - 10  ‘Run for Fitness’ (Cross Country) which will be held on Wednesday, 13^th April at 9.30am by the school pool (postponement date 14th April).

The children began training today in preparation for the event. 

The children are completing some great work with their Home Learning Journey. 

Eileen has a Silver Certificate for her work on Studyladder. Well done!

Lara's creation using recycled materials. Ka pai.

Monique took several art lessons with the children during her time with us.
The end result is very colourful and you are able to see the work on the back wall of our class.

Lots of children have been sharing some of their Home Learning Journey activities.

Eileen wrote some very sensible  'Room 8 Rules'. 

Ruby-June made an awesome robot from recycled materials.
Ka pai!

I have also had plenty of colourful emails from children as well.
Tino pai!

We had an Easter themed Discovery on Thursday.
Our class was filled with chickens, eggs and baskets.
I hope you all have a very Happy Easter and are able to enjoy some family times.

Today the Year 3 children were lucky to have some futsil coaching with Sam from Sport Canterbury.
Today's session focussed on ball skills.
The children will have two more sessions before the end of the term.

                                     Timara shared some of her home learning with us today.
                                      She brought her Mum and Grandma to share the learning.

Ka pai Timara.

It was Monique's last day today. Her tutors decided she had completed her course sufficiently to pass so now she is applying for teaching positions. 

Thank you Monique - we enjoyed having you in our class.

This week's Southern View (free community newspaper) has a photo of the Garden Display and Room 8 children walking back from the Woolston Club. Some families have these delivered to mail boxes or they can be found at supermarkets and libraries.

Discovery time ...

The shopkeeper  is waiting for customers.

The play dough is always popular.

Matt, the student teacher from Room 7, helped some budding gardeners plant some of the plants from the Garden Show. 

If you are at school in the weekends please water them.

They will look good when they are established.

Phoebe has just started Brownies. She already has some badges!

The children have thoroughly enjoyed watching the snippet on CTV News about the Garden Show.
Families can share this too

Happy 7th Birthday Jasmine  and Happy 7th Birthday Noah. 
We know you will have a good day on Sunday.

                                                               Congratulations Flinn.
