Assembly Term 4 Week 6

The Year 3 assembly was hosted by Room 18 this week. We shared our Kadinsky Blossom trees and our research about the flag options in the upcoming referendum. At the end of this we voted for our favourite option to run against the current NZ flag next year. The clear winner amongst the year 3 children was the blue and black silver fern. I wonder if this will be the flag selected by the rest of New Zealand?

Congratulations to Ruby, Kacey and Charlotte who received certificates - keep up the great effort girls.

Poetry Competition

Congratulations to Tayla, Emily and Kacey who were selected to represent Room 18 in the Year 3 & 4 Poetry Competition. Runner-ups were Aoife and Ruby. On Thursday we were proud to hear them perform in front of an audience of Year 3 and 4 children and family members. First place went to Sophie in Room 17, second place to Rory in Room 16 and we were all excited when Tayla was awarded third place. Aoife, Charlotte, Cooper and Erin also presented the poems they wrote earlier this term. Check out the videos of our poets below.

Relaxed Reading

What a lovely sunny day we all enjoyed this afternoon. Here are a few pictures of the Pukeko Reading Group enjoying their reading in the butterfly garden.

Peter Pan

"It's Peter Pan!" the Year 3 children yelled excitedly. On Thursday Ben Ashby (aka Peter Pan) came and spoke to the Year 3 team about his experience playing the part of Peter Pan in the recent Summertimes Theatre production at Riccarton House. We listened carefully and asked some great questions. Charlotte got to try on his waistcoat and flourish his dagger around. Thank you for coming to see us Ben, and good luck with your future acting career.

Year 3 Assembly - Term 1, Week 3

Thank you to Room 16 who hosted the Year 3 assembly on Wednesday. We enjoyed listening to your "Who Am I?" writing and trying to guess who it was. Your tagxedo art was inspiring and we are looking forward to making our own this week. Congratulations to Emily, Cooper & Charlotte who received certificates this week, and to Room 17 who won the Heather Trophy for the tidiest cloakroom.
