Commonwealth Games

The 2014 Commonwealth Games started in Glasgow today.

Ask your child if they know who this is...

This is their mascot, Clyde, the 'Thistle-Man'.

Kids can cook

This morning we went to the hall to see a cooking demonstration by Chris Fortune.  He talked to us about some ways we could eat healthy food and trying food we hadn't had before. He cooked us some French crepes with apple and silverbeet in them.  We all tried them and had to give thumbs up or down depending on whether we liked them or not.  This was a great show which we all enjoyed.  Ask your child more about it and if he/she liked the crepes!

New Busy Bee

Onyx has started school today, welcome to Room 5!

Celebration Time!

We have been learning about celebrations this term, so what better way to end the term than having a Room 5 celebration! The children helped plan it and there were a number of things that they thought should be included. These were - party food, hats, balloons, games (we played musical chairs) and cake. 

Our celebration was also to farewell six children who are moving on into Room 7 & 8. They are, Ciara, Aydan, Ashley, Alex, Matai and Ross. We will miss you but know that you will work hard in your new room. 

Happy holidays everyone. We'll see you back at school on Monday 21 July.

This morning the whole school went to the show 'Rapunzel' put on by the New Zealand Playhouse in our school hall. This is a touring group who each year treat us to a quality production which the children thoroughly enjoy.  Today's show 'Rapunzel' featured characters such as Simon Cow-ell, Pinnochio and a rapping Prince!  The Room 5 Busy Bees sat enthralled for over  an hour while the performers entertained us!
