Principal's Award

Congratulations to Josh who received a Principal's Awards for his story:


On Sunday I went to church. My Muma and my Dad got into church with my family. My brother came with me in the car.

Term 3 Week 5

It's been lovely to be back at school and to see everyone again. I had a wonderful week in Invercargill and my son's hockey team did very well. It was good to see the children and to hear how well their week went with Mrs Power. Come in to the classroom to see the lovely crayon and dye snow pictures the children made.

The  'Star of the Week’ for Week 4 is Danny.

Danny worked hard at all his work.

Thank you, Danny, it's great to have you in Room 3.

We also congratulate Rose who received a certificate at today's school assembly. Rose played Mr Mouse in the play 'The Little House'. She made a super mask and used a fantastic 'mouse' voice. Well done, Rose.

Soon the children will finish their poetry books so will need a new one. Please purchase a 1A5 book for your child. Thanks.

Term 3 Week 3 'Star of the Week' and other news

The  'Star of the Week’ for Week 3 is Josh.

Josh has worked hard this week, especially in reading and writing. He has also followed instructions. 

Thank you, Josh, it's great to have you in Room 3.

Today the Ruru and Pukeko reading groups 

presented a play, The Little House, to the class. Freya was Miss Fox, Rose was Mr Mouse, Paige was Mrs Frog, and Amelia was Master Hare. Lily was away so I played Mr Bear. I am very proud of the girls' efforts - they were fantastic!

Today Alessandro brought some cupcakes to help us celebrate his birthday. Thank you, Alessandro, and Mum, for the yummy treat.

Thank you to those who have sent me snow photos. keep them coming - it's much nicer having our own weather photos on display rather than pictures from a book. Our snow stories will soon be published as a book.


I will be away in Invercargill next week watching my son captain his hockey team at the Rankin Cup competition. Mrs Power will be teaching in Room 3. She has taught the children before so she is a familiar face. I will miss you all but know you will have a lovely week with Mrs Power. Take care.

Snow Stories and Principal's Awards

Yesterday we wrote stories about our snow days. I am very impressed with the standard of the children's writing. Four people received a Principal's Award for their stories.

Joshua's story was published yesterday.


Danny wrote: Yesterday I had a walk in the snow with my Mum and with Joe too. We were getting to the service station and on the way back snow got into my gumboots. I fell over because I had snow in my boots. When I got home I played with my toys.


Erin wrote: Yesterday I played snowball fights and I made a snowman. It was fun. I made a snowman with Mummy and I used leaves for the eyes and I put a hat on the snowman.


Christian wrote: I made a snowman. It fell over on top of me. It had a scarf and a pointy hat. It was fun.

Congratulations Joshua, Danny, Erin, and Christian - you are great authors.

This is Won Jeong's story:
When I woke up, my mum said "Look out side, it's show"
It was great so my family went out together and we made a showman and played. It was fun with big show so it was very happy day.

Erin and Won Jeong sent me photos of their snow days.
Looks like you had heaps of fun girls.

Danny's snow man.

  

                                                            Happy Birthday Alessandro.





Keep sending me your snow photos.

Back to School

It was great to see those children who came to school today. I enjoyed hearing about your snow days and reading the fantastic stories you wrote today.
While school was closed two children did some school work.
Danny made a lovely poster of the seasons as well as a super snowman (I'll take a photo of it tomorrow and post it on the blog).
Joshua made a booklet about what he did in the snow. He also included some photographs. Well done, Joshua, I am really impressed with your book. Thank you for writing it - you are a super author.
This is what Joshua wrote:

When it was snowing I went outside to play. It was fun. Our garden looked beautiful in the snow. I jumped on our snow covered trampoline. My cousin came over and we had a sledge ride. We made a snowman called Frosty Freeze. 

Wednesday - Back to School

Good morning - school is open today. I look forward to seeing you all back and ready to start at 8:45am. Wear your gumboots and bring shoes or slippers for the classroom. Remember your raincoats too.
I am looking forward to hearing about your snow days.

Snow Day

I hope you have all had another fun day in the snow.
I made another snowman, this time at my gate. Now we have lots of slush around the place, which I think will ice over tonight.
Check the school website, Facebook page and/or this blog tomorrow morning to find out whether we'll be back at school tomorrow.



Today is a special day for Alessandro. He is now 6. This will certainly be a birthday to remember. We hope you enjoy being 6 Alessandro.
