P is for ...

Who knows what these are?  They start with our letter of the week - P.  Tomorrow we will try them!


Frog on the blog!

Look what we found hopping around at lunchtime!  We think it is a brown tree frog but would love you to tell us if you know anything about it. It was about 4cm, brown with little bumps.  Was it a toad?  We would love to know!  We have never seen a frog at school before,  perhaps it thought it was the blend fr week!

Maori Music Instuments

On Tuesday, Westport South children had the opportunity to attend a musical presentation which involved learning about and listening to the many musical Instruments made from natural materials. Jerome, the presenter explained what they were made from, and demonstrated the sounds they made. Some children helped him. Some children have found their own 'singing stones' to play.
