Highlights of our Week...

Our school has a blue roof and a white structure.The building next to it is grey and white and has two storeys.You may be able to see it between the two trees!

Next to the school court is a Marae.A Marae is a building that Maori people celebrate Maori special occasions.

Here is our school courtyard where we play at lunch and interval.Also we have a playground where there is a slide,climbing frame,flying fox and a bar to play on.

This is the sports shed where we keep all our sports equipment.Every lunchtime,people come and take sports gear out to play with and enjoy.At the end of lunchtime everyone has to return all of the sports gear.

This is the door to all of the primary school as well as the picnic tables that we eat our tasty lunch on! :)

This is our class getting ready to go swimming!The people that can't go swimming have to go to a different class to do work.(Usually they go to the year 3 and 4 class.)

 This is the outside of the aquatic centre.

This is the building which we go swimming in.We don't have a swimming pool at our school, so we have to travel about five minutes to the aquatic centre which is a huge pool where anybody can swim if they pay!

This is the pool that we do our lessons in.

This is the year five's swimming instructor getting them ready for thier lessons!

I bet the year sixes are just waiting to jump into that big fun pool!

I was right!They are jumping into that pool!













                                                                                    Here are the year sixes.   

The van is getting ready to leave.

And here are the year fives!

          

The class is having a fun worship time singing to God!

Fabric Collages

Last week on Thursday and Friday our class made fabric collages.We had a big table set up with all sorts of colourful fabric and ribbons.On Thursday our class made draft copies of our collages with paper and pencil.On Friday we started the real thing. They are superb.

Delicious!

At the end of term 3 our class had the privilege of baking our own lunch. What was on the menu? Lamingtons... chocolate log... home-made pizza... gingerbread biscuits... pikelets... doesn't that make your mouth water?

Astrology and the Bible

A short discussion emerged in class today, among some students, about astrology, star signs and the Bible.

The link below may be useful in revealing this topic from a Biblical standpoint. Links provide Bible verses to support these views. :-)
