Run for Fitness 2017

All the children had a fantastic time at our Run for Fitness this morning. Well done to children who placed and all children who gave it their best. What a positive start to the day! We are all very proud of your efforts!

Practising for the cross country tomorrow 9.15

Everyone is welcome to cheer the children on!

Showing integrity

This term's value is integrity. We have talked about showing integrity, "doing the right thing", when using devices and in the playground. 

Room 10 used the 'Pic-collage' to make posters with a buddy. This is first time some children have used Pic-collage and they did a great job. They had to decide on their idea and then take a photo and write a sentence to share their idea. Then edit the layout or text as needed. We used the new screen in Room 10 to share our work. 

Cross country

All of Year 2 and 3 are training for the cross country. We are enjoying cross country practises. We have talked about trying to 'do your best' and improve your own number of laps each day. 

All the children have decided on a goal and are trying to run at least that number of laps every day. So far we have been very lucky with the weather and we are so impressed with the children's efforts and perseverance, especially on Wednesday when it started raining while we were running. Some children have not done this type of 'long distance' running before but they are all trying so hard!

Whats on??

Kapahaka begins Monday the 8th of May. Eleanor and Maria are pleased to be taking the junior kapahaka group this year during Term 2 and 3 in preparation for their performance in 'Kids to Town' later in Term 3

Cross country training begins Week 3 please ensure your children have suitable footwear for running and jogging.

Welcome Back to Term 2

A warm welcome back to Term 2!
The children have enjoyed their first week back, especially our 'Puss n Boots' show on Wednesday morning. This sparked a lot of discussion for our Inquiry work on Drama.
