Narrative Day

Narrative day was fantastic! We all dressed up as our favourite book characters and had a mini parade. It was wonderful to see our favourite stories coming to life! As we have been working on writing our own narrative stories, we then got together with a buddy class and shared our own work. We have some budding authors in team two! Well done kids for getting actively involved in the day!

Fonterra Milk for Schools (whole dvd)

Milk for Schools

It was an exciting week last week! Children are loving the ice cold milk they receive daily from the Fonterra Milk in Schools programme. Thank you Fonterra!

Sweet Success

It is always wonderful to witness our children being actively involved in community events. Our inquiry this term was called  'sweet success'. Children were given the provocative statement 'Children can't effectively package and sell sweets for a profit' and boy...did they prove it wrong! They looked at effectiveness of sweet packaging, exploring features like colour, logo, font, brand names, product names, heath warnings e.t.c. Then they set to work creating their own sweets and packaging them for the gala. Our stall made over $400. Way to go you clever kids!

Gala

Our gala was awesome! Thank you to all of the fabulous staff, parents, and kids who made this day a huge success. We raised well over $10,000.

Ukulele Kids

We have had three ukulele groups running this year. Mrs McIntosh takes the year 3/4 group once a week. Here are a few of our awesome ukulele kids from all levels of the school.

Grand Opening!

It was wonderful to have the powhiri and official opening ceremony of our original infant building last Friday. This historic building is now being fully utilised. Anne Tolley came and cut the ribbon. It was fantastic to see members of our wider school community attending.

Whanau Day

We always enjoy getting into our school house groups and working together. Friday's whanau day was fantastic! Thank you Mrs McIntosh for your superb organisation.
