Happy Holidays!

Have we been busy week this week or what!!

  

On Tuesday we had our annual Kahikatea Sports Day.  We competed in a variety of athletic sports and ended our morning with relays.  Well done to Cullen who scored 15/15 during the day.

In the afternoon we continued the fun with a water fight with all the children from Kahikatea.  This was a chance for the students and teachers to get revenge!!

On Wednesday we went to Riverside Pool again with our syndicate.  We had a bit of fun when we walked back as the heavens opened on us!

On Thursday we had our class party.  The most popular theme when we investigated it was a Disco theme.  Floss and Ella clearly got into the swing of things!

 Today we marked the end of the school year.  For Sally this was an extra special assembly as the children who she first began her teaching career with were now graduating!! 

May your Summer holidays be an amazing time of relaxing with friends and family.

Blessings, Sally

Summer Sounds, swimming and scrummy fruit kebabs!

We have had another busy week in Room 5 this week. On Monday many of us were in the Summer Sounds concert.  The NCS choir was joined by a ukelele band of NCS parents and put on a fantastic concert down at Founders Park.

In Maths we have been focusing on statistics.  As part of this we have researched lots of different parts to make a great party e.g. our favourite party games, flavour of cake and themes.  We will celebrate the end of the year next year with our class party.

We also hit the pool this week.  We especially loved it when Keegan, Cooper's big brother who has been volunteering at our school jumped in with us.

We have wrapped up our year of reading performing plays.  Here is Emily performing a funny play about the news.

Today we ended our week with a special buddy time with our little buddies from Room 10.  We each brought along some fruit and Tracy and Sally supplied the marshmallows to create some yummy scrummy fruit kebabs!

What a week!

Wow, what a great week we've had in Room 5.  On Tuesday we visited the Suter Art Gallery.  We had lots of fun making Father Christmas's out of clay.  Each of our Father Christmas's are very unique.  We can't wait to see them once Esther has fired them.

   

Today we were lucky enough to visit the Gymnasium at Nelson Intermediate.  We had lots of fun using the equipment there and bouncing on the springy floor.  Leaping into the foam pits and balancing on the tramp were highlights of ours.

The Hits Radio Station also visited NCS today collecting food and Christmas goodies on behalf of the Salvation Army.  Whilst they were here they recorded us to air on the radio.  Thanks for your support.

To wrap up our week we officially opened the new scooter rack that the School Community Group have organised.  Floss, our student council ambassador gave a speech at the opening.  Way to go Floss!
