Congratulations Travis!

Congratulations Travis for winning the Reporoa RD1 colouring in competition (age 5-7 category). For this, Travis has won a $50.00 Paper Plus voucher. Well done!


 
 

Puzzle making

We made our own puzzles.  Each one of us got a picture, which we could colour.  Then we had to stick the finished picture onto a hard paper and cut the picture out on the line. We also made our own envelopes to put our puzzles pieces into.

Music

We learned about music with Mrs Sutherland when she came into our class.  We practised the note time value and played it on some instruments.

Calf and Pet day

We had a lovely, sunny day on Saturday when it was our school's calf and pet day.  We brought our calves, lambs, dogs, cats and fish to school.
We had a cupcake competition and could show off our animals to judges.

The labels are all done!

The labels that we had to create for the chutney and jam that Room 5 cooked are all done!  We glued them onto the bottles, ready to be sold on our calf and pet day.

High jump practice

We had our first high jump practice for this term.  Room 5, our other Year 5/6 buddy class taught us what we need to know.
Wow, this was fun.  We are going to be so good at our school athletics!

Ken Lusby is attempting to to walk the length of New Zealand in 80 days to raise money for cure kids. Cure Kids is about research for all diseases which affect kids. They focus on raising funds so that vital medical research can continue until the researchers find the cures our kids need. He walked passed our school and we all went out to cheer him on.
