Expressions Visit

On Wednesday morning A1 had a visit from the children at the early childhood centre, Expressions.  The children came to have a look at the school and the A1 kids loved showing them what to do. Come back soon you are always welcome! 

Disco Fever

Last Thursday, A1 joined the other junior school children to dance the night away at the school disco.  Enjoy our video.

After the disco, Ron and Elisha wrote about the fun they had.  Listen to their stories.

Look At Our Sandpit

Our wonderful new sandpit has been opened and the children in A and B Block are spending time happily playing in it.  At the moment we are digging for dinosaur fossiles.  A special thanks to the Friends of the School (FOT's) who fundraised to pay for it and to Dave Bedwell (Elyshia's dad) who spent hours building it.  In A1 we love it!

Going to the Zoo

A1 had a great time during our visit to the zoo.  Watch the video and see what we did.

Healthy Food



Last week, A1 read the book Vegetable Glue which is about eating vegetables.  After we had discussed the book, we decided to make an omelette using vegetables from our garden.

Teddy Bear's Picnic

On Friday, the Year 1 and 2 children had a special picnic for our favourite toys.  During the day we played and worked with our toys.  We took them to Jump Jam and the school assembly.  We made cupcakes with them and took them on a special parade and then the picnic.  Our toys enjoyed coming to school and we all had a great day!

Fun with Feijoas

Over the last 2 weeks, A1 has been talking about and eating healthy food.  On Thursday we decided to make a special feijoa cake.  We collected the feijoas, cut them up and mixed them with  flour, sugar and eggs to make a delicious cake. 

Healthy Eating

A1 has been talking about healthy eating.  On Friday, we made fruit kebabs by cutting up oranges, bananas and apples.  We added marshmellows for a treat, then we ate them.  Yummy, yummy.

A1 Goes Gardening

Last week A1 children cleared out our garden. We put on compost and sheep's poos to make the soil healthy and planted vegetables and flowers.  We can't wait to see them grow!

Goodbye Year 6 children!

On Monday the Year 6 children went off to camp for the whole week. Some of the children from A1 had brothers and sisters, and cousins who went. Tarik's dad also went to help. A1 decided that we wanted to wish the Year 6 children good luck and wave them goodbye.

Introducing A1 girls

Here is a video of the A1 girls introducing themselves.

The Junior Gardens

On Friday, A1 children went out to work in their garden.  We picked the corn and then cleared out all the weeds, so we can plant some new vegetables next week.  When we had finished, we cooked and ate the corn.  Yummy!
