2021 Te Māuru-e-taki-nei

 Today was our first day of swimming as a hub! Please remember to bring along your togs and a towel each day from now on. It is also a good idea to make sure ALL of your clothes are named as we have already had a bunch of lost property. 

Today during action stations, many of us were able to get creative, and build some fantastic creations and produce some amazing artwork. Check out some of the activities we were able to choose from! Special shoutout to Zane for being there to help set up the dye and paint stations, then staying behind to clean up too. You are a star, Zane!!

 This week Miss Hollings' Ruru reading group have been reading all about working dogs. We are learning to find the key information from texts. We love sharing these facts with our classmates! Here are some of our wonderful posters :) 

 Today we were lucky enough to go on a class trip to the Antarctic Centre to learn all about the endangered animals in Antarctica. We learnt about climate change, and the effect our actions are having on the land and native life in Antarctica. We got to see some penguins and play in a mock snow storm. Take a look at what we got up to!

At the beginning of this term we did fast words to see how many words we knew. We tried it again today at the end of the term. Between us, we now know over 400 words!!! We wanted to share our hard work with you all. Here is what we had to say: These kids are impressive! - Aria These kids know tonnes of words! - Taylah We know our fast words! - Jade We are very very very good at making words. - Angel We are very good at remembering how to write very big words! - Bo 

Today we were visited by the Army Band.  This was such a great experience for all!   We listened to many songs and had a boogie and lots of singing! Such a great afternoon! 

  Such a fun day! Oh the places you go!!  Look at us in our 'fancy dress up' gear from books to movies!! We look fabulous!
