Whanau Day

Today we had a whanau day where we had family in to share in class activities such as sign, reading, board games, outdoor games and computers. We had a wonderful turnout and our children were able to enjoy a fun morning showing off all of their wonderful skills to whanau members. At the end of the activities we had a great shared lunch with heaps of nice goodies that were enjoyed by all.

Rugby World Cup Paint It Red

As Northland were hosting two Rugby World Cup games involving Canada, Japan and Tonga who all play in red colours, we celebrated this event by having a red day at school. The junior syndicate painted flags for these nations and dressed in red. Some of us were lucky enough to go to Okara park to watch these great games.

Our Place, Our History

 Room 4 & 5 visited Whangarei Museum to look at what life used to be like in the last 100 years. We looked at an old school where we dressed up, baked scones, visited the museum and Clarke Homestead and went for a train ride. We all had an exciting day and enjoyed looking at the way life used to be.

We had to mix the flour and butter together and get all the lumps out.

 I liked sitting in the fire engine. It was big and bright red.
