Prize Giving

Victoria Park

Because it was such a beautiful day we decided to make the most of our town's facilities and went to Victoria Park for some fun.

Greedy Santa

The children had great fun playing greedy Santa.

Atlas Research

We are learning to use an atlas to research information about New Zealand.

Library Reading

The children really enjoy our library hour every Tuesday. It's great to see everyone on task and reading for fun!

Painting our Piggy Banks

All children wore paint shirts but unfortunately there will be some unhappy parents trying to wash paint from school clothes. How the children managed to make such a mess I do not know.  Please accept my apologies - the paint is water based so a squirt of dishwasher detergent then it should wash out in the machine.

Comic life

M8 are researching an animal and presenting facts on Comic Life.  I like the way everyone is working in a group using the Eekk rule (elbow to elbow, knee to knee).

Organised Chaos!

M8 are having a great time doing papier-mâché (making a mess!). 

Mini-ball

The year 3/4 mini-basketball team have really enjoyed learning new skills this term.

Golf at Pegasus

The year 4's were lucky enough to be given the opportunity to have a fun day at the Pegasus driving range thanks to Pegasus Golf and also North Canterbury Sports.  Also to parent helpers and the school for funding the bus!

Golf Skills

Move aside Tiger Woods.  M8 are learning golf skills with Matt and Amy from North Canty Sports.  We love the new equipment!

Lemonade Scones

M8 have been learning about measurement this term and also about how to write a procedure.  Today we made lemonade scones as a fun way to learn.
