The solar oven has begun!

New classroom

Plenty of theme books from home.

Every day new books arrive from home on our ocean theme. Thank you Joe, Ethan, Tyla, Jacob and Mason.

The dioramas came marching in today hoorah, hoorah!

On Friday we looked at all the dioramas that the Extra for Experts had made. It was good to have a close look and to ask some wondering questions. Mason had a big crowd wanting to look at his diorama and use his torch. Do you still have a question to ask Mason? Well done everyone.

The Allen Centre is brilliant

Every Wednesday we have a special library time in the Allen Centre and we LOVE it. There are always new books to find and share and there is always a quiet corner to curl up with a new book. Ah bliss!

What a busy lunchtime

There is always plenty to do at lunchtime. Joel, George and Mason made rockets in the Allen Centre while Annalise, Emma and Erin practiced netball on the courts. Riley A, Willow and Erin practiced with the kapa haka group in the hall while Trampus, Trent, Ben, George and Jacob made bird treats with Mrs Meehan in the Workshop. What a great school we have!

You were noticed making a difference!

Today Mason found plastic rubbish in the hedge and he put it in the bin. At lunchtime Mrs Mac noticed Gene picking up rubbish. You are great role models boys. Thank you!

Marvellous Mason gives his prepared talk

Today Mason gave a great talk about his holiday at Waikaia in northern Southland. Can you see the medals he won in the races? Well done Mason.

Co-operation and teamwork in the sandpit

Damien, Mason, Jacob and Jade spent the lunchtime building wonderful roads for their cars in the sandpit. It is great to see friends co-operating so happily.

Autumn Leaf Art

Everywhere there are glorious autumn leaves so we decided to paint some. We went into the Workshop and carefully drew with chalk. Then we carefully chose our colours so that the leaves looked real. Well done Trampus, Mason and Ethan.
