Christmas Show and Whanau Day on FRIDAY

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

We have our Christmas Show on this FRIDAY 11th of December at 10.30am in the hall.

The children can come to school IN their Christmas clothes and with their Santa Hat.

We would love for you to come and watch us dance and then stay for lunch on the school field at 12.45pm.  You might want to bring a picnic lunch to share with your child.

See you Friday!  Miss Stonestreet

Musical Instruments with Mrs Corke

First, Mrs Corke gave us some instruments.  Then, we played them.  After that, we did soft and loud.  This is called dynamics.  Last, we played our instruments soft and loud to the song "Galump went the little green frog one day, galump went the little green frog.  Galump went the little green frog one day and his eye went glub, glub, glub!.  When we were finished, we put our instruments back in the box and Eashan put the box in the cupboard.

We had a fun music lesson today.

Check out the photos

Diwali

We have started learning about Celebrations and the first one we looked at was Diwali.

Here are some photos of our team posters that we made in comic life on the computer or in pic collage on the ipads.

Enjoy

Book Week - Next Week

Hi Parents and Caregivers,

Just a reminder that next week is Book Week.
There are lots of fun things happening at school around books.
On Wednesday the children can swap an old book with someone else.  So they can bring a book from home they are not reading anymore and swap it for another one.

Also on Friday, it is Book Character Day.  So the children can come to school dressed up as their favourite book character.

Thanks
Miss Stonestreet
