The Seussical

Awatea and Arataki finished the term on Friday 3rd July with a trip to the Aotea Centre to see the Seussical.

Onesie Day

When we do an Inquiry, an important step is an outcome.

Room 18 found a Cooks Petrel on the courts outside their room early in Term 2.  This began a very interesting Inquiry for them into this bird. Sylvia, the Bird Rescue lady looked after the Cooks Petrel until it was well enough to be released. Mrs Spray then organised for Sylvia to visit Room 18 and tell them all about the work she does.

Room 18 started collecting donations of blankets, pillow cases, and towels from the school as these items Sylvia needs when she looks after the birds.  They also decided on a Mufti Day with a Onesie theme!  the Gold Coin donations were given to Sylvia to help her in the work she does. 

DON'T WE ALL LOOK BEAUTIFUL IN OUR ONESIE'S! 

Table Tennis Term 2

Its always good to try a new activity - and some of us discovered we are very good at Table Tennis! Session One was interesting as we found the little white ball not always easy to keep on the bat.  The grip we had sorted by the end of the first session; most of us found the regular grip the best. Only a few use the Chinese Pen Grip.  Beat the Champion was a favourite game.  Sebastian, Daniel, Gordon and Jessica were our weekly champions.
