Merry Christmas

The school year has now come to an end. It was very sad to say goodbye to all the children in my class this year, but I look forward to seeing them next year when they come and tell me all about their holiday adventures. Thank you to all the parents that have helped out in Room 17 this year. I hope you all have a merry christmas and a wonderful break. Take care. Miss Lind.

Junior Prizegiving

On Friday we had our Mauao and Tongariro Syndicates Prizegiving. Each class had 5 awards to give out for Outstanding Progress, Outstanding Citizen, Outstanding Sports Person, Outstanding Effort in all areas and Outstanding Arts. It was hard for Miss Lind to choose people for each award because all of Room 17 have tried hard all year!!! Well done to James, Julia, Logan, Aaliyah and Sean who all recieved an award. Well done also to the Kapa Haka who performed for us. It was great.

Constable Todd

Today at school our class had a visit from Constable Todd at the Greerton Police Station. He came in to show us his equipment and car. He turned the siren and lights on for us too. The siren was really loud so some of us had to block our ears! Then Miss Lind and Mrs McEvoy got handcuffed together! It was heaps of fun trying on all of Constable Todd's jackets. Thank you for coming in Constable Todd!

Octopus

When we were learning about the letter O we got to make our own Octopus. They looked neat hanging from the roof of the classroom.

Bird art and stories

We have been making some cool bird pictures. We had to paint a piece of paper with different colours and then when it was dry we had to rip it up. Then we had to glue the ripped pieces of paper onto our picture of a bird. It looks really cool. We had also been writing about birds for the week about if we were birds. We got to publish our stories when we were finished and they are being displayed with our pictures. We think they look cool!
