News: Basketball Hoops

We have four new basketball hoops in the playground. They are all different heights so everyone can shoot a hoop! Our fantastic Home and School group with amazing support from the community made this happen. Thank you so much for your efforts.
"They are good sizes to shoot to." thought Mason.
"They are really fun to play with!" exclaimed Blossom.
"They are really handy to practice our netball shooting." pondered Ava and Lynlee.

Holiday Mathletics

These students have gone above and beyond to earn certificates during the holidays. Maybe that freezing fog and hoar frost made it a little easier to be sat at the computer!

Matariki Homework

In the Holidays Amie and Tessa did some Matariki homework.
 " It was awesome designing and planning my matariki poster" said Amie.
 " It was interesting finding out about Matariki" explained Tessa.

"Well done girls for taking your learning home and sharing with us." congratulated Mr Allerston.

Farewell Max

Max and his family have left New Zealand to go to Scotland. We shared a last morning tea with our friend Max.
"You were good on your scooter and BMX." said Mason.
"You were fun to be with in class." said Ava.
"He always played fair in games in class." remembered Ollie.

Sing-a-long with Room 13

As part of our end of term party we had a good sing with Singstar. there was heaps of fun and competition between several divas in our class.
" I love singstar because you get to sing and dance. " said Tessa
" I like singstar alot because you get to sing all sorts of song. "said Blossom.

Mathletes are go!

Yet more fantastic Mathletics effort with several students achieving Silver certificates as well. We are seeing a real boost in mental maths speeds and confidence. It will be really interesting at the end of year when we review everyone's progress.

Board Games on display

After a lot of hard work our board games were finished, tested, well and truly played and evaluated. Enjoy the display in the foyer as they are on their way home for the holidays.




" I played my game in the hoildays. My Mum rated it a 10 " Said Amie.
