Disco photos

Everyone came to the dicso dressed up and we all had a great time. Lots of kids danced and did the macarena around the floor. Summer

School disco Term.2.

I went to the school disco in Term 2. I went as a purple fairy. Paige and Victoria were green fairies too. We danced together on the stage and the lights were shinning on us. Mum and Dad thought I was beautiful. Summer, 6.(but I'm 7 in September)

K.E.G.S

Each Wednesday I go to K.E.G.S which is Kids Edible Gardens in Schools. The person that takes it, is Lindsay Fish. Last week we planted radishes and peas. And we wondered "How a pea knows it's a pea and not a bean?". Jack Thompson

Our Hoodies

These are our Adopt a boat hoodies. We wear them when we go out to visit the museum and other places. We have an adopted fishing ship called MV Enterprise. It is a fishing factory ship, it catches fish for Talleys. Skipper Lee and the 40 sailors send us frozen fish from the bottom of the ocean and we get emails about what they are doing and interesting stuff too.

Rock Da House

On Wednesday St. Vincent and Nile Rooms went to Henley School to practise for Rock da House. It is a concert we are going to sing in. It is in September at the Trafalgar Centre.
We went in a bus cause Henley School is in Richmond. We sang lots of songs and did the actions too. There were lots of children from lots of schools. About 8 schools.
My favourite songs are Hey Soul Sister and Black Horse in the Cherry Tree.

Beach Scavenger

In the holidays, I made a bird out of feathers, shells and drift wood that I found on the beach. I call it a "Beach Scavenger."
A few days after I had collected the things, I got the glue gun out and started to glue. It took a couple of days to finish my bird but it was worth it. My bird looked amazing.

Penguins and Seals

This is Percy Penguin. He is our class penguin, who is stuffed. Percy was hit by a car at Paton's Rock in Golden Bay many years ago. He was given to St Vincent Room children. We have emailed Enterprise to ask them to help us find answers to some of our questions about penguins and seals.

Dear Jim Hickey
My name is Alex and I do the weather every morning just like you do for my class. My teacher Judi thinks I am as good as you. To do the weather, I watch you every night on 1 News. I have been doing the weather for 2 years and I want to do it until I move to the next class [which is next year].
I am a year 3 but my teacher treats me like a year 4. We have class gardens and a pump track and we have a big leftover hill of clay and we are going to turn it into eco huts. We have a school swimming pool and a great big, big field which is good for playing sport. We have done lots of trips, and even met Andy Dalton. Did you know we have an adopted ship, it is M V Enterprise and they email us about what they are up to and where they are in the ocean. My favourite trip was when we went to the Boulder Bank and ambushed the second load of kids that came on the little ferry, the Waka-to-&-fro. What is it like as a weather man? What do you do before you go on TV? What do you do after you do the weather? Do you do the weather live? How many times do you go on TV each day, cause I only see you at 6.45.
I want to be in the army and be a general. But maybe generals need to know what the weather is going to do.

Kapa Haka

Kapa Haka is now on Friday morning and we have a new teacher, Whaia Tania. The first lesson was about making pois. We worked in family groups and most children completed two pois.
