2014 Junior Prize Giving

This afternoon we held our Junior Prize Giving ceremony.  Mr Burt presented certificates for best effort and citizenship in each class and then there were special team certificates awarded.  Congratulations to Acera Junior for best effort in Class 19.  The Citizenship Award in Class 19 went to Trinity.  The Team Award for Te Reo went to Jasmine.  For our team item Team 2 did a great job of singing and doing actions to a medley of Christmas songs and finished it with a very loud "Merry Christmas!".  Well done team two.

Class 19 have been very busy using different media - dye with crayon, water colours, printing, paper cutting and acrylics.  We have learnt how to mix colours and painted a class mural using the three primary colours.  You can see the results in our movie.  By Class 19

Think, think, think ahead.

Class 19 have been learning about what makes a champion.  We found that even champions need to be future focused and think ahead to be the best that they can be, as Madison shows us in our movie.

Celebrating Our Spelling Success

We have come break from our holidays eager to all try to get 100% in our spelling test.  We got 17 super spellers who got all correct so we celebrated our success with an ice block.  Well done Class 19 you are all trying so hard.  Here is a picture of us all celebrating our spelling success.
