Art Fun with Room 3!

This term Room's 20 and 3 are working collaboratively to make paper mache piggy banks. We have just started the long process of layer upon layer of newspaper over the balloons. This may take up to two weeks to finish this part!

Special Visitor today!

This morning we were lucky to join up with Room 19 to meet an ex All Black. Jessie Holland's Dad is cousins with Steven Donald. Steven Donald played in the 2011 Rugby World Cup Final. He kicked the winning goal that secured the win. It was very exciting to ask questions and hear Steven talk about who inspired him, what he was thinking when he kicked the famous kick and also to get his autograph. Thanks Room 19 for letting us join in.

Poetry Competition

Today we held our class poetry competition. I would like to congratulate the children who spent time learning their poem by memory and organised themselves so they felt confident and ready to recite their poem today.
A special congratulations to our three finalists - Eve, Amelia and Keaira, who are in the Year 3/4 final on Thursday afternoon in the school hall. Well done! Hayden is our trusty backup incase one of the finalists is not there on the day.

Friday Spooky treats!

On Friday we were treated to some delicious cupcakes. Thanks Lauren and Tanner for your very kind Halloween treat - we loved them!
