Football Skills and Games.

This week we have been working on our football skills. We all improved our dribbling, kicking and trapping. On Friday we had a tournament on the bottom field. The team from Germany were the overall winners.

Hutt Intermediate Visit.

On Wednesday some Hutt Intermediate students came to perform at our school.
There were two bands, an orchestra and choir, a Kapa Haka group and a dance group who did a Christmas dance. We really enjoyed all the acts.

Pack the Bus.

Today 'Pack the Bus" came to our school. Lots of us brought things to give to people in need. Father Christmas was there as well as all his helpers.

Cushion Making.

Today we finished our cushions. Some of us outlined our pictures with pastel then we ironed them to set the paints and pastels. Next we put the back and front together and sewed them with the help of our two wonderful mother helpers. We think they are colourful and comfortable.

E-learning.

Today Room 1 worked with a Room 7 buddy to learn how to safely use 'skooville.com'
We had a very busy time and this will be followed by another buddy session and then Room 1 will be able to use this site by themselves.

Reading Rotations.

At reading time we have different reading activities we can work on. We can buddy read, share big books and read plays and poems. The ipads are very popular!

Buddy Day

This week we've been dressing our buddies for people to have on 'Buddy Day'.
We worked in our Whanau groups to design and decorate our buddies to look like real children.
These buddies are to remind parents to treat children nicely.
We were all very proud of our buddies.

Red Day for Heart Kids.

Today we have dressed in something red to collect money for our Heart Kids.
When we were in the hall it looked very red.
It was very interesting listening to our speakers.
