Garfield looks warm!

Today Holly came to school with Garfield. She took him home for the night because she had had such a wonderful day at school yesterday. Mrs Simmons and the class got such a surprise when they saw Garfield wrapped up for the cold weather in a scarf and woolly hat - what a great idea Holly.

Poetry Competition

The Year 1 and 2 children have been practising their poems at home and in class. On Friday 11 June the Room 3 children had their poetry competition. We set the room up with chairs and an area for the contestants to sit. All the children recited their poem to a captive audience. Lachlan was placed first, Adam was second and Sakura was third. All children tried their hardest and it was a great event. On Wednesday 16th June we had the Year 1 and 2 overall finals at English Park. We were all very proud of the children and the high standard that they set. Well done!

Heart Jam

What a great end to a very busy week! The children all dressed in red today and brought a gold coin donation along to give to Heart Children New Zealand. We have been learning the Heart Jam aerobic moves and plenty of Jump Jam dances - our favourite dance at the moment is Kung Fu Fighting. At 10.00am the whole school met on the court and we did Jump Jam and the Heart Jam song for half an hour - it was great to see some parents watching too. Krystal won a hydroslide pass and Leia won a Clip'n'Climb pass for awesome jump jamming, some children also got stickers. The children are now helping me with the blog, so watch this space and enjoy the photos. Have a great long weekend. Nicky Simmons
