Koru Whanau Cross Country And Athletics Day

 

Diwali with our Buddies

 On Friday 13th November, Room 9 ventured outside to make Rangoli art with our buddies from Room 1.

First we had to collect flowers, leaves and sticks. We walked around the end of the field, along the garden beside Room 1, then up to the nature walkway.  It didn’t take long to fill our containers.

After that, we sat outside the music room with our buddies and helped them to create a symmetrical piece of art.  We found this to be a very relaxing and ‘mindful’ activity to do on a hot Friday afternoon.

Whole School Assembly

We had a Whole School Assembly on Friday.

We had a Room 9 and 9a class photo to share our twins, triplets and quads dress up day outfits. 

Ali and Renee were so proud to receive a certificate in assembly. Well done guys!
