The Christmas Parade

We had two large tractors pull us in trailers in the Wanganui Christmas Parade. We went dressed as what we want to be when we grow up. It was a lot of fun.

Christmas Cards

 Making Christmas Cards to raise funds for our Big Day Out.  We had a real production line. We are selling our cards with matching envelopes in packs of 5 for $5. 

Rugby World Cup

We had a great time celebrating the Rugby World Cup and researching all about one of the countries which participated. More photos to follow.

Students of the week.

It is hard to keep up with all the great things our class does. These are some of our students who have got student of the week or values certificates or a pencil for fantastic work, in assembly.

Pirate Week

 We have spent a week discovering and writing about pirates. Our learning intention was to increase our language in our writing, and develop our searching information skills. We had to use vibrant adverbs, adjectives and verbs. We read pirate plays and performed them in Friday assembly. The whole school came to school dressed as pirates. It was a great day.

Our Day out printmaking.

Printmaking with Margie

 We used the old Wanganui Chronicle  printing press and type set to make our own prints. The printing blocks are very old and made of wood so you can't drop them. We enjoyed our day out printing very much.

Printmaking at the Gallery with Andrea

The Sarjeant Gallery

On Friday 30th September we went to the Sarjeant Gallery to do printmaking. We also enjoyed looking at the Rugby World Cup exhibition.

Welcome Adam

Adam has moved to our area from Taihape. He is very good at writing and basic facts. We are pleased he's in our class.

Rural Schools Cross Country at Mangamahu

Our day in Palmerston North

Our senior school getting ready to leave for our big day out. The junior school went to John Bremner's in Feilding and did printmaking which is this term's Visual Arts focus.

We went to Palmerston North to see a stage production at the Regent Theatre by Capital E. It was spectacular and represented many values. Then we went to the Esplanade and played in the playground in the rain and ate our lunch. After that we went to the rugby museum at Te Manawa...it was fantastic. While we were ther one of the sailing boats from the opening of the rugby world cup arrived and was assembled. We also got to play in the ergonomically designed house at Te Manawa. We really enjoyed our day out full of new experiences.

The Day of the Scarecrows !!!

We have made 5 scarecrows, amongst our 3 classes, to try and win the $500 voucher from Mega Mitre 10 and also for the fun of it. We had Mums and Dads turn up (thank goodness) and give us a huge helping hand. We managed to spread 5 bails of hay and many bags of straw everywhere and thrilled our 2 lovely cleaners!! There was hay every where, all through the class rooms too. We took the left over hay out to the paddock for the sheep and it was so windy that as we let each armful go it blew for miles.

Please go into Mitre 10 and vote for us. We would be so grateful.

Cousin Arthur's Visit.

Russell wasn't well. He needed stitches and a bath so his cousin Arthur came to visit. Everyone enjoyed having cousin Arthur to show around and play with. It is good for us to care for someone else.

Student of the Week

Olive was our student of the week for always committing herself to doing well. She is very conscientious and goes the extra mile to meet challenges.

Farewell Maureen

We are very sad that our office administrator, Maureen, has left. She got an offer from the bank which she couldn't refuse. They knew how good she was too. We are going to miss her very much and wish her all the best in her new job.

Mr. Osmond gave a lovely speech about how valuable Maureen has been to us and the students gave her some very nice gifts to remember us by.
