Our author of the week for week 3 was Christiana Greer. Well done Christiana.

Welcome Lanuola Lefale to St Vincent. Lanuola has recently come from Samoa and has her two brothers Benjamin and Nelson at school too. Lanuola is a very happy little girl and is already making friends. Great to have you at Auckland Point School.

One of the books we read this week was A Puppet Play, so some of St Vincent's Year 2's made animal puppets for their play.

St Vincent's gardeners helping Sarah with planting, sorting seeds and weeding.

This is Xavier, first thing in the morning, he has prepared the Connect 4 game for the next student to arrive and is now quietly reading his library books. I love this photo.

In St Vincent we have made a holiday book, to share all our special memories from our holidays. From the book I have chosen 'Author of the Week' and this week it is Arjay Solloway. He wrote about Christmas morning and going into mum's room and finding his bike and also telling us how he felt - completing all the goals of his writing task. Well done Arjay.

Welcome back to St Vincent in 2015. We have lost a few special students who have moved to Nile. Good luck all of you. And we have welcomed Sienna, J-Shante, Charlotte, James, Christiana, Felix, Ruru and Ngametua to our class, we hope you have a great year with us.
