Tryathlon

What a great day we had at St Albans school for the Year 3 & 4 Tryathlon. Check out the Wonderful Writing page to read Emily's story about her experience at the Tryathlon.
Here are a few photos of the event.

Cricket World Cup

Congratulations to Emily, Millie and Henry who got the opportunity to escort some of the players onto the oval. How exciting for you!

Aquagym Antics

There are some tired children in Room 18 this week after our sessions at Aquagym. Everyone has been working very hard to improve their techniques in the pool and we are grateful to the instructors and staff who have made this a wonderful experience for the children. Today, we were doubly proud of Aoife, Charlotte, Emily, Henry and Millie who graduated to the big pool with some of the Year 5 & 6 children. Great stuff!

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.

Aquagym Swimming Sessions - This Week!

Just a reminder that Room 18 will be having swimming sessions at Aquagym this week. Please make sure that you are at school on time as the bus leaves at 9:30, and that you have the following gear at school every day;

• togs
• dry towel
• goggles (if you need them)
• LARGE STRONG waterproof bag that will fit all your clothes - including shoes. (Please note that plastic supermarket bags are not strong enough so they tear easily so things get lost/wet and they are not large enough to fit everything in that you take off.)

Peter Pan

Linking to our Term 1 focus of Learning Adventurers, the Year 3 Team are encouraging you to go and see the Summer Theatre Production of Peter Pan. The lead role of Peter Pan is played by Ms Ashby's nephew, Ben Ashby, who used to go to St Albans school. The production is free and you can find more details about the performance times by clicking on the photo below.


Later in the term, Ben has offered to come and talk to us. Naturally this will have more relevance if you have seen the show.  I hope you can make it.

Term 1 Week 1

Kia ora koutou

We kicked off the term with a pōwhiri to welcome the new staff and students to St Albans. Later in the day we met up with our buddy class, Room 24, and worked together to complete a piece for "The Art of Community" display.

We are looking forward to our next get-together with our buddies. 

On Wednesday we went swimming in the school pool. I was very proud of the way everyone managed themselves and their gear - 10 minutes and everyone was dressed and ready to go! Awesome work! Next week we are starting work on our Butterfly Garden. If anyone has any spare swan plants at home, we would love to add them to our garden.
