Knitting is in!

Some of the class have been learning a new skill. The knitting needles have been clicking, wool is being tangled and stitches are being dropped. But we've had great success with our knitted Xmas trees.

The Disco

Friday 4th December was the night of the year 5, 6, 7 and 8 mixed schools disco. The schools that were invited were Tomarata, Tapora, Tauhou, Wellsford, Parkiri and Mangawhai Beach. It was alot of fun. We played two games at the disco. They were Freeze (the game where you danced to the music and freezed once the music stops) and drop the hat (introduced by some girls from Wellsford school). It was great to see everyone dancing. It was so much fun!

Kids make great teachers

The new teachers survived the morning and afternoon shift started with an interesting trivia quiz. Music and movement followed with some folk dancing. The weather caused a slight change in the programme as it didn't allow the planned outside game. It was replaced with silent ball until the rain let up and then it was outside for a game of flags. There were a few people flagging so inside again for the old favourite Heads down Tails up. And so we have had our first day with the substitute teachers. Well done team- it's a tough job isn't it?

Kids make great teachers

This week we have new teachers. Mr Marshall (aka Alex) ably assisted by Mr Morrow (aka Sam)are in charge this morning. Ms McDonald (aka Olivia)and Ms Stevens (aka Aimee) will take over for the afternoon session. The day started with a roll call and everyone was present. Good start to the day. Explanations for a new game followed and soon everyone was outside to trial it. The teachers quickly decided that the new game wasn't working well so they changed the plan. Good decision. If something isn't working try something different! Inside to listen to some finished research assignments. Good work Trent and Aimee. We're all looking forward to the rest of the day.
