Kia Ora everyone! I bet everyone is excited that the All Blacks have taken out the Rugby World Cup.

Discover China Day

Celebrating China Day

We learnt how to do some Tai Chi, we saw some very cool pictures from China, we played a great game called Jianzi- Feather Kick where we kicked a shuttlecock thing a bit like a hacky sack, we made and ate some delicious dumplings and we learnt to do some calligraphy in mandarin.
A special thank you to Imogen's Mum, and Molly's Mum and Grandma for helping out in the kitchen with the dumplings.

 As well as celebrating China Day the school had a Black Out Day to show our support for the All Blacks. We also donated food for the food bank. Room 29 did a great job and brought in heaps of food. Thank you very much to everyone who brought in something.

More prayer spaces

The children have enjoyed making prayer spaces during prayers time. It gives them a real focus and makes prayers time that extra special .

Symbolism

This Week we looked at the difference between a symbol and a picture. Here are our ideas.

Week 3

Malo Ni everybody. A Big congratulations to Ann Maria whose name was picked out of the Holiday Reading Draw, she won for herself a brand new chrome book, how exciting!!
I now have an apology for last weeks Middle Team Museum trip newsletter, my editing was absolutely terrible and the children picked up on many errors. Just goes to show how important it is to get someone else to double check your written work because it can easily be missed. Here is an edited copy of the newsletter. We are requesting that children bring $2 to cover the cost of a canvas for their art project. Please start sending this in ASAP.
