It's almost time for Cross Country

On Thursday we walked around the rugby field so we know where to run on the day of the Cross Country.  We are getting excited!

The School Fair

We have started making colourful posters to advertise our School Fair on the 21st of September.  Please mark this date on your calendar!

Goodbye Wijdan

On Thursday we said goodbye to our friend, Wijdan.  He is returning to Malaysia with his family.  All the best Wijdan.  We will miss you!

Preparing for the Cross Country

Tomorrow (Thursday) at 10am, the whole junior school will be walking down to the Alhambra Union rugby grounds to practise for the cross country.  If the children could wear running shoes tomorrow, that would be very helpful.

Our First Art Club

Our first session of Art Club was a great success.  Lots of people came to draw minions.  We are all looking forward to our next art lesson.

Mud, mud and more mud!

After the last few days of rain, our playground has become very muddy and slippery.  If the children could have some spare clothes in their bag (just in case!) that would be very helpful.  Thank you!

Junior Art Club

Junior Art Club starts tomorrow.  It will be held every Tuesday at lunchtime (12.45pm after the children have eaten lunch).  Those children who love to draw are welcome to come along!

100 Days of School

On Friday, we celebrated 100 days of school!  We have been counting everyday and we were very excited to get to 100, especially when it was the last day of term.  Ruthren's mother kindly made us a cake and we celebrated throughout the day.

Amna's Learning Commitment

On Thursday, Amna shared her Learning Commitment goal with us.  She made a wonderful book full of interesting leaves and told us all about them.  Well done, Amna.  What a great effort!

Junior Poetry Gathering

Abbie and our two Amelias, were chosen to represent our class and share their poems at the Junior Poetry Gathering.  The girls did a wonderful job today and we were very proud of them!

Science Show

This morning we watched a really entertaining show which was created for the New Zealand Science Festival.  There was amazing dry ice, lots of great singing and dancing and a wonderful message about friendship.

Languagenut

Have you heard about the new language programme we are using in Room 4?  It's called Languagenut.  Languagenut is an online programme that helps students to learn how to read, write and speak in over 20 different languages.  It is a wonderful resource for children who are learning English as a second language or for those who would like to learn a new language.  You can access Languagenut my clicking on the following link and entering your child's username and password (this was sent home on a notice this week).
