Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a very happy and safe christmas!

Been an amazing year with such a beautiful class! 

I am so proud of every single one of these kids :) 

When I grow up...

"You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself in whatever direction you choose"

-Dr Seuss

I can't believe we are down to our final few days of school! This year has gone so fast.

 I am so proud of every single one of these kids! 

Christmas Dress Up Day

Room 12 looked lovely and festive today dressed up in their favourite christmas accessories...

Chickens and Ducklings visit Room 12

Yesterday we had some very special visitors come visit us in Room 12. Noah's grandma brought in some chickens and ducklings for us to meet. They were so cute and we even got to pat and hold the baby chickens. She even showed us some eggs that look different to the ones that we buy from the supermarket... we had to be very careful when we held them so that they didn't crack!

Thank you so much Mrs Graham for taking time out of your day to come and visit us. We loved learning about the chickens and ducklings and enjoyed having the opportunity to pat and hold the little chickens :)  

Zone Athletics

James and Mischa are off to compete at the zone athletics today. They are competing in the sprints. 

We are very proud of them!

SPCA Mufti Day

Room 12 had lots of fun dressing up as animals to help raise money for the SPCA :)

SPCA Mufti Day

There is a mufti day this Thursday (6th November). We are raising money for the SPCA. Children can dress up as animals or simply wear mufti. All children that are not in uniform have to bring $2.

Happy Diwali

Thank you to all those students who dressed up :)

Helicopter

Yesterday a helicopter landed outside our school! 

Goals

With the end of the year creeping upon us we decided to reflect on our learning from last term and set some goals for this term. Our goal had to link to one aspect of our learning and we had to explain how we are going to achieve our goal. 

Here are our Term 4 goals...

Sunhats

Just a reminder that the children need to have their sunhat at school this term. 

The school hat can be purchased from  http://www.argyleonline.co.nz/Halsey-Drive_359.aspx
