Vegetable Garden Competition

I was very lucky to be able to visit a wonderful garden that a Room 7 student is growing as part of a vegetable garden competition. I was very impressed with the size of the lettuces and even took home some boysenberries to enjoy for pudding. Delicious!

Students as Teachers Day in Room 7

Room 7 had a fantastic day on Friday. Three students were the teachers for the day, as they were the winners of the class start system for following our school values of honesty, respect and perseverance. The three students did a wonderful job of running the class for the day and enjoyed their hot chocolate in the staff room at morning tea time. At the end of the day we were all very excited to have Father Christmas join us with a few treats!!

People Saver Course

Room 7 students were very fortunate to take part in a first aid course last week. They learnt how about the doctors ABC along with what to do if someone is choking and how to treat burns. It was a great day and the students thoroughly enjoyed learning valuable skills.

Tough Kids Challenge

A wonderful day at the Tough Kids Challenge for Room 7. So proud of how everybody performed on the day. A fantastic effort.

Rock Climbing Wall

Room 7 were amazing yesterday when they all got to have a go on the portable rock climbing wall. All students persevered with the different climbs and can be justifiably proud of themselves.

I am very proud of the Kapa haka group - they performed magnificently!

Chester and Big G Out and About!

We are so lucky in Taranaki to have so many beautiful rivers to visit. Chester enjoyed a lovely afternoon with his family at Koru Pa. It was too cold for Chester to swim.

Big G Takes His First Swimming Lesson

Big G had his very first swimming lesson when Chester's family took him to Koru Pa in the weekend. Big G is modelling what to do if you should find yourself in trouble in the water. He has flipped onto his back and is staying calm, He will soon start kicking, while on his back, to the side. Clever Big G.

Hi Room 7. Here is a video of our music assembly today. You can share it with your family so they listen to how wonderful you all played your instruments. I am very proud of you all. From Mrs Z.

Big G Learning How to Loom

Big G was very clever at Amelia's house over the weekend. He made three bracelets and one necklace out of loom bands. Amelia looks lovely wearing them at school today. Thank you Big G.

Racey Big G

Big G is sitting in Ava's go cart. He didn't get to ride the go cart around but Ava did. Ava went go carting on her dad's friends farm. Unfortunately the chain broke several times which meant the go cart broke down. Fortunately Ava's dad was able to fix it. I bet Big G would like to have a go.

Room 7's Day in the Enviro Centre

Room 7 had an amazing day in the Enviro Centre yesterday. The day began with shelter building. Then it was on to bubble science which involved observing and investigating how to make bubbles bigger and last longer. The next activity involved a nature treasure hunt which led onto nest building and hunting for bugs. After lunch we all took part in a quiz game and the day ended with making an accessory from nature, which one lucky person from each group got to model. A great day was had by all and everyone co-operated very well throughout the day which made it an enjoyable day for everybody.

Holiday Fun for Big G with Bella and Her Family

Big G Visits Lollipop Playground

Brodie was very lucky to visit Lollipop Playground in Palmerston North over the weekend. Brodie was visiting Palmerston North for Fletcher's basketball tournament. Fletcher's team played really well and even though they didn't win, the scores were very close. It looks like Big G and Brodie had a great time together.

Basket Ball Semi Final

Miss Bain, Mrs Zieltjes and Miss Hepworth were all very impressed with the skills our students showed when playing in the basket ball semi final last Monday. It was a very exciting game to watch.

Lunch with Big G

Caden and his family enjoyed lunch at Back Beach with Big G before heading to rep training. Caden won three running races against his brother while running along the beach. Big G must have been his good luck mascot.

Big G Visiting Lake Taupo

Big G was very lucky last weekend. He traveled to Taupo with Caeley's family. He even got to watch Caeley take part in her gymnastics competition where Caeley finished in the top third of the contestants. Well done Caeley and Big G.
