Recorder with Mrs Gribble

We were the lucky class that learnt to play the recorder during music. We sound pretty good don't you think?!

Ag Day 2016

It was pretty cute to see you all with your animals on Ag Day. Well done to those who cared for and trained for a goat, calf or lamb! Also well done to those who successfully grew a spud!

See some of this cuteness in this video made by Grace and Sarah

During Te Reo we have been learning to ask and answer about mokai (pets) and kararehi (animals).

(What animal is this?)

He _____ tenei karahehe.

(This animal is a _____.)

Interschool Cross Country

Thankfully, the rain held out for cross country this afternoon and boy were there were some awesome runners!

How many of you managed to push on to the top of that big hill without stopping?! 

Book Fair

After weeks of hard work, it was pretty exciting to see our Book Fair displays come together! Well done to those who received commended or highly commended ribbons for your effort!

Book Character Day

Great effort Kahikatea! Your costumes all looked fantastical! We had Book Character day as part of our book week to not only celebrate the wonderful world of books, but  also to fundraise for our sponsor children Navin, from Cambodia and Michael and Tanzania. Who can you spot in our class picture?
