Friendship Group at St Chad's church

Today Room 9 and Room 10 walked down to St Chad's. We performed for them. The choir sang. The Culture Groups sang too. After that we followed Santa and his moa out on to the lawn. We had a lolly scramble.

Beach Education at Waimari Beach 2.12.13

Today we went to the beach to learn about keeping safe in the water.  We had so much fun! We went on boogie boards, swam, had races and all sorts of cool stuff. We learned heaps too. Did you know that you should never swim alone? Also grown ups should be in the water with us and not watching from the beach.

Tuahiwi Marae

On Tuesday 5th November the Year 4, 5, and 6 children visited Tuahiwi Marae. It was a really hot day! It is a flash Marae. It is very new. But it is sad because there are no carvings and no tukutuku panels. We had so much fun playing tahi, rua, toru basketball, doing rakau and making poi. We did heaps of waiata . The ladies in the office said that we sing as we'll as the children at the Tuahiwi School!

Felicity Strikes Again!!!

Felicity went to the karate competitions in Cromwell over Labour Weekend. Our clever classmate came back with three medals. A 1st place for kata (patterns), a 2nd place for fighting and a 3rd place for team kata. 

Keeping Ourselves Safe

We are learning to use the proper names for the parts of our bodies. Mrs Geal drew around Marty and Felicity and then we stuck labels on the bodies to show the parts.
