Litter Blitz

We had an awesome day picking up rubbish and making sure our community area looked clean and tidy. The whole school was given different areas. 

Thank you Simon ( Stella's dad) who volunteered to help us.

We walked down Hendon Ave to Owairaka park and from Owairaka Ave we came back to school.  
We are tidy Kiwis. Room 12 in action. 

The school picked up 200 kgs of rubbish

Class play

A group of students in Room 12 have decided to write a play and present it to the class.

Term 4 Week 1

Welcome back , we had a busy 1st week of learning and fun. We also welcome Miss Austin who is a 'student teacher'  in Room 12. She will be with us for 5 weeks.
On Monday we had a on off 'Kiwi Tag' session. It was fun and students were 100% engaged.

We had a lovely visitor to our class, Thank you Jane for bringing Ankie the Labrador puppy. She is training to be a 'Guide dog'.

We had a shake out drill on Thursday

• DROP down on your hands and knees. This protects you from falling but lets you move if you need to, protects your vital organs and makes you a smaller target for falling and flying objects.
• COVER your head and neck (or your entire body if possible) under a sturdy table or desk (if it is within a few steps of you).
• HOLD on to your shelter (or your position to protect your head and neck) until the shaking stops. If the shaking shifts your shelter around, move with it.
