Day 3 2015


Late last year Lesley Ottey visited us to talk about our school garden.
She showed us how to create some garden art.
We needed bottle tops and bamboo stakes.
Rangiora Mitre 10 donated the stakes for us to use.
Today we started on our creations.
As always we get things done.
A huge thanks to the Mums who helped.



Keep a close eye on our gardens as we have many more ideas.


Did you know that when you rub a balloon on your head,
 and then place the balloon over mixed salt and pepper,
the salt and pepper separate!


Other fun things were on offer during Discovery.





We love using the Duplo and today we made letters of the alphabet.

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
Sarah has five adorable puppies.
They visited us and we got to ask lots of questions.
Some of us wanted to hold the puppies as they are really cute.



REACH CERTIFICATES THIS WEEK...

 Ashley children strive to use our school values.
Well done Mitchell and Aziah. 


What a great beginning to 2015.
Bellbirds rock!

An awesome start!

Wow!  
What a busy day today!
SO many rules to learn!
We have made promises to each other about how we will help each other reach for Excellence!

 We enjoyed learning  how to use our new  maths station games.  We worked so well together.  Collaboration will be really important this year!

 We loved listening to stories on the laptops using our brand new head-phones. 
 A huge thank you to Heritage Photos for helping us to purchase these. 
We will use them so much!
We have had fun meeting our new friends, talking about our holiday adventures and finding out about what we are going to be doing at school this term.

Back to school


Not long now and we will all be starting school for 2015.
Make sure you have a sun hat ready.
Sun hats stay at school.
Bring a named drink bottle. 
Learning can be thirsty work.





Your teachers have been busy getting the classrooms ready.
2015 is going to be another great year.
See you soon.
