Gidday Mate... Welcome to our Kiwiana Showcase!

Wow, Ruma Ruru knocked the socks off school mates, parents and family with their 'Kiwiana Fun in The Sun' Showcase today. They should be super proud of their efforts, because their teacher sure is!

Check out the video of our sweet 'slice of heaven' dance...


Well done team!

We also sent our families on a fun 'kiwiana' treasure hunt around our classroom and 
they all did really well...








Then we read them a kiwiana version of the Three Little Pigs called "Pigs in sheds"...


After all the hard yakka it was time for some good old kiwi tukka...




































Well done Rurus! And thanks to Carter and Anika for finishing it all off with a 'cheers mate.'


So what is your favourite kiwiana icon? New Zealand food?

Thanks to all of you who came along to support us, we loved having you and 
you are welcome back anytime. Bye for now... :)

Junior Athletics

Kia Ora, welcome back to our blog, here is a quick catch up on junior athletics day.

We had junior athletics day which was a fantastic day. The juniors showed off all of the training they had been doing. Well done team, you made your teacher and families very proud.

We did sprint races using L arms...wow we ran so fast our feet hardly touched the ground!








The parachute was so bright and vivid!



We loved the parachute so much that we had to get it out the next day...
to make it work properly we have to work together.









We tested our 'gun' strength at tug -o- war...





And flew in the long jump...


literally...


We did potato and spoon racing...


Sack races...




Some skipping...


Playground obstacle course...


Goal kicking...


Vortex throwing using over arm throwing...


and plenty more!

Then we had our prize giving. We all tried our hardest and had a lot of fun. Well done to Heidi, Jasmine and Ollie who received special certificates.


 
 We can't wait for athletics day next year, it is such a fun day.
