2014 School Athletics

We had a very successful day in our school athlectics. The children were able to participate in a variety of events, long jump, high jump, shot put, javelin, discuss, and sprints. The children have been practising over the past 5 weeks their movement techniques. They worked extremely hard, and all performed to the best of their abilities. 

2014 School Production

We have had a very exciting week with our presentation of our school production oh the places you'll go! We had a lot of fun at the theatre and we hoped you enjoyed the show. DVDs are ready now to purchase from the office. Get in quick! 

Thank you so very much to all those people, family and whanau who helped with organising and helping with our big night. Without you it wouldn't have been such a huge success, thank you! We appreciate everyone's efforts with organising the children and making it all possible. 

Kids 4 kids competition

The children have their kids 4kids competition and show on the 3rd November, 2014. Please have the children ready at school by 8.15am, as the bus leaves at 8.30am. The children have been practising for a few months now and are very excited to present with other schools around Hastings. 

Thank you for your support. 

Room 4's Maui Dolphin Dress up!

Today the children had a 15 minute challenge to construct a Maui Dolphin out of a variety of resources. 

- black rubbish bag

- black paper

- scissors

- and cello tape. 

The task was for children to be able to correctly show the body parts of a Maui Dolphin. Such as the body (black rubbish bag), a dorsal fin, two pectoral fins and a fluke (tail). The children also had to work as a team, one person being the model, and three children designing the outfit. 

Our runway model also hard to present this to the class, in character. 

The children worked very hard to accurately show the body parts. We had a good laugh with where some body parts ended up. 

Check out our photos! 

Ben is modelling a Maui Dolphin, his group have constructed two pectoral fins, and a tail but sadly they had forgotten about their dorsal fin. Some great acting from Ben- he found it very hard to be a dolphin on land. 

Jakob is modelling for his group, he also tried to swim like a dolphin but found it difficult. His group was able to show all body parts, pectoral fins, dorsal fin and a fluke- well done guys! 

Alex is modelling their group outfit. His group faced a few difficulties with the pectoral fins. We also thought the body looked a little bit like a shark- but his acting and modelling gave the children a great laugh- awesome work team! 

Linus presented his teams efforts, showing all body parts. He showed great enthusiasm and character of a Maui Dolphin. We thoroughly enjoyed his dance moves- who knew the dolphins were that talented. 

Jessie's group also correctly showed the correct body parts. Here she is diving into the sea using her pectoral fins to balance her. 

Ask the children to explain to you about the Maui Dolphin body parts. 

Delicious treats from our vegetable garden

The children have been enjoying our vegetable garden produce. We have had a few broccoli and lettuces ready. The children love the broccoli and dip. 

We also have a variety of herbs ready- please do help yourself, they are are there for all to enjoy! 

Ally has been hard at work!

A big thank you to both Ally and Sharlene who have been very busy creating our girls skirts for the room 4 production item. Ally spent most of her time in the holidays in front of the sewing machine. She is very talented! You wil be able to see these magnificent skirts on our 'big' night! Thank you once again Ally! We really do appreciate it! :)
