Senior School Production

This morning the whole school went to the NBS theatre on buses to watch 'Once Upon a time'.  This is the show the Senior school have been working so hard on!  It was a great show to watch and included some great singing and dancing!  These are some of the photos...

Once Upon a Time

Tomorrow morning we are going to the NBS Theatre for the dress rehearsal of the school production, Once Upon a Time.  The Room 6 Shining Stars are really looking forward to seeing it!  We will look for people we know like my big girl Tara, and Jesse's big brother, Lockie!

V is for volcanic rock

This week India brought us a piece of rock from a Volcano for V week.  We learnt that it is called Pumice and it very light to hold.  Emily said "It is a hard rock but not heavy".

Thanks for bringing it in India!

Look who took Harold home this week!

New Zealand Playhouse Show

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 6 Shining Stars sat enthralled for over an hour while the performers entertained us.  

Fun run

We still have fun running during fitness!

New Zealand

We went out and looked at the map of New Zealand in the playground.  No one knew what it was, guesses ranged from 'the world' to 'a dinosaur'.  We talked about the North Island, South Island and where Westport was.

Manipulating maths materials

Using maths equipment helps us develop our fine motor skills which we then use for writing!  Here we are using the materials at maths time today.
