Athletics Day was SO much fun yesterday. It is such a good day to show off our skills of what we have been learning here in school. It is also a good opportunity for our kids to mingle with the other students in the school and show off our self managing skills. We are so proud of the way our kids managed themselves and tried their hardest. Have a look at some of our photos from yesterday - we were lucky for the weather for 95% of the day!
Today the juniors got the opportunity to start a colouring in competition. We joined up with Piako Tahi and had to design a school hat of our dreams. Some of us haven't finished and we get to take the colouring in competition home to finish it. It is due in next Thursday so make sure you have your name on it and bring it in to the box when you are finished. Check out some of us in action - such great starts to the competition. Good luck to everyone involved! There are prizes to be won! Huge thank you to the senior Pounamu Atawhai kids for helping Miss Fairbairn and Mrs Best with the organisation today!
On Friday, we had heaps of fun during our opt in sessions. We had a group making smoothies with fruits, milk and ice. They were delicious (as you can see by our moustaches). We also had a group making dancing stick figures which is where we draw onto a ceramic plate with a dry eraser and then slowly pour water on them. They float to the top and dance around the water as they go. Have a look at some of our photos!
Congratulations to these amazing students for their achievements. We are proud of you and hope you continue to strive for excellence!
What a great time we had out in the sunshine today being creative with chalk! There was so much collaboration going on! So proud of all your cool ideas Piako Rua!
