The Fire Alarm

When the fire alarm rang in the morning the children knew exactly what to do and it provided a focus for our writing.  Aie Sorn wrote -

"The alarm went and we didn't stop to put on our shoes.  We walked outside quickly and we sat down on the court and were counted."

"When we practised we walked outside and sat down.  The teacher took us then we went back to class." Story and picture by Mele

Makerspace Fun

Cutting out shapes and sticking them in patterns was a fun occupation at Makerspace this week.  The children found a bit of help from Mr Vogt was welcome when it came to cutting.

Utukura's Good Day

Utukura had a good day last Friday.  He was a Duffy Certificate winner as well as a lunch box hero.  Utukura has been trying hard to improve his reading and writing.  He practises each night at home often bringing his writing to school to show others so he was this weeks Duffy award winner.  He also knows how healthy eating helps with his learning and brings a healthy lunch each day. He choose a bunch of bananas from the lunch box cupboard and enjoyed some of the bananas as a snack!

Ofili's Weekend Story

Ofili had an exciting weekend when he went to watch his Uncle play rugby.

"In the weekend I went to my uncle's rugby.  He tackled and tackled.  We shouted "Fiji" and my Uncle won the trophy."

Practising for Cross Country

It is nearly time for the real Cross country so we had a practise run around the cross country course. So far we have just practised running on the hard surfaces as it has been too wet and muddy on the field.  It was good to challenge ourselves to run around the whole course.
