Athletics Day

On Friday 25 November the Junior School held their Athletics Day.  It was the hottest day of the year so far ( of course!! ) and their was some laughter, tears and fierce competition and the children had a marvellous day with everyone giving 110% effort to everything they did.
We had some great helpers from Room 1, so thank you to you all you were great helpers and role models.  Here are some photos of us trying and triumphing!!

Halloween

Beginning of Term 2 and it's Halloween already check out our scary costumes!!  Looking forward to a very short and action packed 7 weeks, its going to be fast but packed with lots of learning.

A very busy term

Well another hectic busy term is over, we have been flat out with Trampoline/Gymnastics and Swimming lessons every Tuesday and have been learning about Traditional tales and getting much better at our maths and reading.  We loved going to see and hear the Army Band earlier in the term - what a fantastic show it was awesome. Looking forward to a restful and peaceful holiday and we will see you all next term which begins on Tuesday 25 October

Chalk Art

Some of the children had a great art during Developmental today.  They wanted to get the chalks out and draw on the wet concrete as they knew that drawing on wet concrete makes the pictures really bright and almost seem alive.  They worked really hard and persevered until they had the job completed!  Well done girls!!

Real Art Show

On the first day of this term we were able to visit an amasing Art Show.  We got to look at lots of different types of Art and imagine that we stepped into the pictures and sculptures and explored what was going on in the picture etc  We spend quite a bit of time just appreciating the various art works.

Red Nose Day

FInally we have reached the last day of Term 2.  It's Red Nose Day!!  We have had lots of fun wearing and showing off our costumes and Red Noses.  We all hope everyone has a fantastic restful and fun holidays and we will see you all again in Term 3 - Which begins Monday August 1.

One week to go!!

Well its been another action packed term and we have only one week to go till the holidays.  The children have all been superstars with how hard they have worked to achieve their next learning steps in all curriculum areas.  I have been really pleased with the progress that I am seeing in all the children be it academic social or physical.
We are all looking forward to next friday as it is not only the last day of school but Red Nose Day and we will get to dress up and come to school with our red noses on.  Red noses can be purchased in the classroom and a variety of shops and locations around New Zealand, the money raised is going to Curekids and the funds from Red Nose Day will go towards improving the health of children through research and its outcomes.
Stay safe and warm out there and all of us in Room 7 wish you a great holidays.
