Grandparents Day

My Grandpa

Grandpa is my pal
He's kind and he's funny
When he's around
the world seems very sunny.

My Grandma

Baking scones
and rocking chairs,
sparkling eyes
and silver hair.
Warmest smiles
and loving arms,
these special thing
are my Grandma's charms.

Thank you to all the grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles and other special people who came to our Grandparents Day.  You made our day very special.

Last week we celebrated 100 days of school.  We did lots of learning about the 100.  Thank you to eveybody who  contributed food for our amazing shared lunch.  There were some very creative ideas.

How many groups of 10 has Haelyn made?

We made paper chains with 10 links.  !0 groups of 10 makes 100!

  4 groups of 100 plus 6 groups of 10 plus 3 ones = 463

Nate, Michael and Deacon made 50 groups of 2.  50 groups of 2 = 100

Deacon's pikelets had 100 on them.  Now how did he do that?

Yummy healthy food in groups of 10 (some have been eaten).

 100 children in a very long line.

Big smiles and very full tummies!

Kia Ora,
Towards the end of last term we caught a bus up to Titirangi, to explore Te Uru, the new art gallery next to Lopdell House.  The main purpose of our adventure was to be creative in the gallery classroom  making clay tiles representing the stars of Matariki..
Look at everybody's unique designs and beautiful colour blending.  Each tile looks amazing!  Ka Pai Whanau Rua tekau ma ono.
Children, can you tell your family the steps you took to make your beautiful tile?  First we.... secondly.....  after that....next......  last of all or finally......

Hi everybody,

I hope you have had a great holiday.  I am looking forward to seeing your smiling faces on Monday morning.  Remember to dress warmly as we will be having the Powhiri to welcome our new principal, Mr Anand Muthoo, on the court at 10am, as long as the weather is fine.

Enjoy your weekend,
Susan :-)
