Ferrymead visit

Rooms 15 and 16 enjoyed a day at Ferrymead.  They dressed up like children from 100 years ago. They found out what life was like for the people left at home during the First World War and learnt about different ways people used to communicate back in the 'olden days'.  Thanks to all the parents who came to help us.

ANZAC Day

Steve our caretaker helped us make up 30 crosses for our ANZAC Day service. The service is to be held at school on the 24 April at 2:30pm.  We also made heaps of poppies.  Have a look at our art display in the office foyer.

Christchurch Art Gallery

Bianca from the Christchurch Art Gallery visited us on Monday.
She showed us pictures from lots of different artists.

We then got to create our own "What's in my Head" picture.
They're hanging up in Room 16 now - check them out!

Aqua Gym 2015

Room 16 enjoyed their swimming lessons at Aqua Gym.
The children gained confidence and improved their skills.

During Discovery time Ryan and Ruger were co-operating and made this awesome creation with 

plasticine.  

Te Matatini

To celebrate Te Matatini the kapahaka festival that is in Christchurch this week we used poi for Discovery on Friday.

Skipping

Room's 15 and 16 have been learning to skip.  They have improved a lot over the last two weeks.  Here a few photos of them in action.  Thanks to my photographer Lucas.
