Snow days!

What fun to bounce on a snowy trampoline R and T! Awesome picture, thanks.

Another fantastic snowman, M. I'm glad he has gloves on to keep warm. A great family picture too!

Thanks C for this awesome picture of you having super fun in the snow with your brothers! What a great snowman!

I hope you all have had fun in the snow today. We went for a walk to the beach and my boys built a snowman. How strange to see a snowman on the beach! What did you get up to today?
Email me a picture of your fun in the snow and I will add it to our blog.

Van Asch

All of the teachers today went over to Van Asch school to look at our new classrooms. Room 15 have a super new space right next door to the awesome Room 16. We even have 2 lots of playground equipment right outside!
Here are just a few pictures of our space.

The room is currently occupied by an axylotyl! Wouldn't it be fun if he stayed!

Week one

First of all....some missing pictures! My missing file of photos has surfaced. Here are a few pictures of our lovely children at the end of Term 2. What a good job they had their pjs on, as they are all so tired!

A warm welcome too, to Lachlan and his family to our class. We are looking forward to getting to know you over the next few weeks.
As you now know, we will be making our move to Van Asch School at the end of week 3. It will be exciting to have our own classroom space and the beautiful grounds to use. I will visit the school soon and post some pictures of our new space.
Last week, our children were lucky enough to receive a box of Toy Story lego each from the Salvation army. It so lovely that we are still on peoples' minds.

Term 3

Hi all,
it is so great to see all of you back at school this week. Welcome back to Marley and his family after a lovely long break in Scotland and Ireland. Please make sure that you are checking the school websites and any emails about changes to our situation.

Apologies for the lack of photographs on this post...I was unable to access the blog at school and the file I sent home did not arrive! Keep checking as I am working to sort this out!

End of Term 2

Wow, can you believe we are almost at the end of Term 2. Well done to everyone for how brilliant you have all been.
Still a way to go, though! Tomorrow we have the Court Theatre Jesters in school to perform for us and as a finale to our topic, we have a movie to watch in the afternoon.
We are also having our end of Term assembly on Friday. It will be a low key affair....especially with children (and staff) in their pjs or with wacky hair! As space is very tight and it will be standing room only, we would like to invite just the parents of those children receiving awards. (you will have or can expect a call to notify you if necessary).
The children have also been asked to donate a can of food for needy families of Christchurch rather than bring in a gold coin for Friday.
Remember Katie is also here for lunch orders on Friday.

Redcliffs on Sea

Wow, can you believe we are at the last week of this term!
You should all feel very proud of yourselves this term, despite exciting events and a move to Sumner, you have all shown so much progress in your reading, writing and maths. I am so very proud to be your teacher.
Last week we had a fun filled time in Sumner, the teachers want you all to enjoy the changes you have been so brilliantly accepting.

The Court Theatre
On Wednesday we were lucky to be visited by two actors from the court theatre who amazed and entertained us with their comedy and ability to tell a story with no costume or props!

We had to guess the place.   Murphy

                                                      They made up a skiing story.   Ruby

                                           They made a pop up book.    Charlie
                                            The guy said he was stinky!   Caspar
                                            We acted playing rugby at the AMI stadium.  Thomas

                                                             It was funny.     Anna
                                                       It was outstanding.    Maija
                                                          It was wicked.    Renee

                                                              It was good.     Molly
                                                           I liked all of it.     Abbie
                                          I liked when they did the pop up books.   Anaru
                                                        I liked the pop up story.   Nate

Beanie babes!

Great excitement in class today with the delivery of handmade beanies for every child in school. Wonderful knitters from around the country and in Australia have been busy ensuring that our children stay warm and cosy over winter.
Look how snuggly we look!
