Wacky Hair Day Mufti – please bring a gold coin donation to support the Jump Jam team traveling to the nationals. Wear your hair in a wacky way and dress in normal mufti. Last day of term, school finishes at 3pm as normal.

Welcome Back!

It is great to have nearly everyone back! This week we had several practices of what to do in an earthquake, and a couple of times we have had to do it for real with some of the little aftershocks! Today, Brumby's donated gingerbread men for every child in the school to help lift the mood. The students were very happy!!! Thanks Brumby's!!

We have decided to postpone our Big Day Out until Week 2 next term. More information will be out about this at some stage.

Next week, on Wednesday, we have a Commonwealth Games Day from 10.30 til 12.30. This should be A LOT of fun with some cool events! Please feel free to come along and support our teams. Room 19 is joining up with Room 4 and will be representing South Africa. If you have some cool ideas on what we could do to "theme" ourselves, please let myself or Mrs Kelly know.

Also, Elianne will no longer be with us in Room 19. Her family has moved to Lyttleton and she is starting at a new school there shortly. She is hoping to come in for a shared morning or afternoon tea with us in the near future, so I will let you know when I hear more :-)

I hope that you are all keeping safe, it is great to see all the beautiful smiling faces of the wonderful students in Room 19 again.

Miss Chamley

Hi all,

Hope you are all safe and well! There is no school until at least MONDAY at this stage. I will keep this updated as much as possible when I hear things, but also keep an eye on our school website.

Mr McKenzie went into Room 19 the other day and has said that it was a bit of a mess but he kindly cleaned it all up for me. I have now been into school and it is all looking good.

Stay safe with all your family, we will all have some very interesting stories to share when we get back to school.

Keep smiling :-)

Funny videos the kids loved!

Youtube video about Elephants and other animals that the kids found very funny!

Youtube video about dancing like you have ants in your pants.
