Live Theatre

Sacred Heart Petone got a real treat on Tuesday, we saw 'The Fairest of them All'. We thought it was hilarious and sat enthralled for the entire show.

RISE up Time

The amount of learning each day during RISE up time is fantastic. Through play Tui Class develop their social skills, imagination and are always problem- solving and thinking. Here's some of the next generation of creative thinkers in action.

What a lot of Science and Maths is going on here. Benjamin you have created an amazing water run, using your initiative and problem solving skills. I wonder what will happen when you have more equipment to use? 

Greta and Toby are quietly working next to each other occasionally sharing ideas. It takes a lot of perseverance, comparing and thinking to create things using just the skewers and noodles.

 Jarvis and Lily are great friends, their oral language and imagination are in use here, at the tea party for 2.

 What great team work between Jarvis, Benjamin and Emily. There was a lot of negotiating, compromising and sharing ideas to complete this incredible city.
 They then worked together to make a sign asking for their creation to be left alone for a while.
Outside in the sun these boys are practising their hand eye coordination as well as increasing their fitness and ball skills. I wonder what rules they are developing?

Welcome Lilly-Rose

It was an extra special day on the first day of Term 4. Tui class and Sacred Heart welcomed Lilly-Rose. Her family came to support her starting and it was a lovely link as big sister Katie used to be in Mr Solia's class at Sacred Heart Thorndon School, what a small world!
