A Visit from a Special Friend

Last week the Tui's went to visit a very special visitor. Harold came to visit us in the Life Education Bus. We learnt lots about being a good friend and how to fill someone's bucket.

Our very special visitor!

This week the Tuis have had a very special visitor.  Ms HEART, the school bunny, has been with us doing lots of learning and watching to make sure all of the children have been making good decisions about their learning.

Today we cleaned her cage out and made it look nice and clean and smell good.

Olympics

The Tuis have been learning a lot about the Olympics.  Today we watched footage of Usain Bolt winning the 100m again!  He ran it in 9.7 seconds.

The children wanted to see how far and how fast he needed to run so we went out onto the field to the 100m track.  They ran down the track until the timer said 9.7 and Mrs Stowers blew the whistle for them to stop.

They decided that they made it half way.

Have a look how far they got (the end was at the last tree down the back fence) and their 'dab' of salute to Usain Bolt!

A Visit from Bunnings

Last term we wrote letters to Bunnings asking for some donations of saws, hammers and wood to replace the ones that were in a bad state at school.

2 weeks ago we got a reply from them saying they were happy to hear from us and would come and visit.

On Friday Jackie came to visit - bringing with her some tools to replace ours. She brought us new saws, hammers, clamps and lots and lots of wood.

The kids were in their element on Friday during Discovery - where they got to build and create to their hearts content!

Flower Day

On Monday 22 February we went out and made our own 'River of Flowers' to commemorate the 5 years since the 2011 earthquake.

The children designed some beautiful chalk flowers on our entrance into the school.
