Our Buddy Liturgy

Last Wednesday Tui, Ruru and Pukeko had their buddy liturgy. Our theme was 'Our Mothers' and it was a very special moving liturgy. It was awesome to have so many of our whanau join us and celebrate our wonderful Mothers.

Our Awesome Mothers

In Tui class we spent some time writing about our wonderful Mothers. We then entered them in the Duffy Caught Being Good Competition. Guess what Eva's mum Nat was the lucky mum who had her name pulled out of the hat. Miss Heatley was so impressed with all of our writing she gave each of us a special pencil. Our writing is up on the wall in Tui class so next time you are in come and have a read.


Tui learn some 'Financial Literacy'

Wow the term has started with a bang and it's great to see everyone back and settling into school.

On Wednesday we had a hilarious hour with 'Dr Cash'. He was a representative from a programme sponsored by ASB bank to teach children about finances.Well with a training and a background in creative dance and drama he was fantastic at keeping all the Tuis and Rurus entertained while learning about our NZ money and also the difference between 'a want and a need'.

Another awesome Buddy time

On Wednesday we shared our Duffy Books with our Pukeko buddies and also discussed together what 'Respect' means at our school. Here are some photos of each pair acting out an aspect of what we thought respect could mean. Can you guess what they are?


















Year 1 & 2 Football Tournament

On Monday we crossed the road to have our first ever Year 1 & 2 football tournament. It was heaps of fun and we were really puffed by the end. Big thank you to Tony, Racheal & Avan from sportszone who took us and Mitre 10 for providing some prizes. We had a Year 8 buddy for each team too.

Welcome Colin/ Mr SuperElvis

On Friday Colin arrived for Discovery with an old printer for us to take apart. It was a huge hit with several enthusiastic children spending an hour getting stuck in with screw drivers, pliers and elbow grease.He even cleaned up at the end. We LOVED it. Thanks Colin. Anybody else out there who's keen to come in and share the fun on Fridays?
