Room 17 Visitors

We have visitors on Fridays - special visitors who are preparing for school.  Today we welcomed Aurora and Xavier who have visited before and Mackenzie, Ethan and Hayley who were visiting for the first time.

Dotty dalmatians, daisies and dough were the activities for today and the big buddies from Room 22 were super helpful - thank you.  Mrs Jones was visiting too - Mrs Jones and Mrs Davidson will be the New Entrant teachers in 2014.

Sand Saucers

The Festival of Roses was on this weekend.  On Friday the children from Learning Team 1 made sand saucers to enter in the competition for children.  They made beautiful arrangements and were helped by some big buddies from Room 22 as well as Mrs Donaldson, Chris, Rebecca and Denise.  Thank you for your help!  More pictures are over in our ultranet media gallery.

Congratulations

These super learners were awarded certificates today.

Zackai, Tyler, Jude, Sophie and Nicole got certificates in assembly today for getting a full set of Wai Learner certificates (or 2).  Well done!  Ben received the class award for working so hard and being such a happy learner.  We think you are super.

Today was Learning Team One's talent show and Sophie danced to Debussy - Arabesque #1...how beautiful!  Nicole took over Carly Rae Jepsen's 'Call Me Baby' and got through to the final with her super singing and cool moves.  Well done both of you.  We loved watching the talent show - dancing, singing, funny jokes and the recorder...great variety!

Walkathon

"Look how many laps I have walked!"

One, two, three, JUMP

'I've done 6 laps!'

Ready for a rest - great walking Hutt boys.

Everyone at Waimataitai walked and walked and WALKED for an hour on Friday and raised pots of money for their playground.  The Student Council have been planning to make a confidence course for around our school.  Everyone's efforts on Friday will make this plan a reality.
Thank you to all those sponsors who will pay the students this week.  Some of the children ran so there will be a good amount of money raised.

Walkathon on Friday

The student council are raising money to build an obstacle course around the school.  Please wear your house colours after fruit and vege break on Friday afternoon.  Get some sponsorship this week and see how many laps you can do on Friday!
