Miniature Gardens

Hi there,

Room 2 students will be bringing their beautiful miniature gardens/farms home on Thursday 27th October 2016 (the day after Pet Day). Please make suitable arrangements if you have any concerns about getting your miniature garden home safely. I know the children are very excited about taking their work home, however are a little concerned the ride might wreck their hard work.

Thanks,
Mrs Howie

Cross Country

Have a read of some of the fabulous writing we did about cross-country with Mrs Simpson on Tuesday!

                     Cross-Country

On the most exciting day of the year, I said ‘Wow! Some people have already done a whole lap.’ It was cross country. Although I wasn’t a fan of running, because I have asthma and running just isn’t my kind of thing. At least I gave it a try, but I came 20^th. I actually felt proud of myself.

THE END

Cross Country

Last Friday was the amazing cross country. We did cross country. It was exhausting. All the parents were there, clapping and clapping. I got so tired I felt like I was going to faint, but I said to my brain, ‘Stop! Keep running.’ At the end, I charged. Yay! I was so proud of myself.

Cross Country

Last Friday was the awesome cross country. When we were running up the hill, parents were cheering and clapping. On our second lap I was exhausted and sweating. When we saw the swamp it was wet and muddy. There was a dead cow in the swamp and when we went in it I nearly fell in. I got my shoes muddy.

Cross Country

Yay! Today is the day. Cross country! “On your marks, get set, go”, said Mrs Simpson. Off we go through thistles everywhere. The bog is horrible. We got through there. The finish line. Done! Good, I came 5^th.

Pet Day Art - Miniature Farms and Gardens

                                PET DAY ART DISPLAY

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

On Tuesday 25^th October (week 3), Room 2 will spend the afternoon creating their own miniature farms/gardens. I encourage students to have a good think about their own creations and start collecting any items they wish to include. The school will not be providing any items, except sand, that will go towards this, so everything your child needs to create his/her masterpiece will need to come from home, including the base (meat tray recommended). The miniature farms/gardens, will be on display in the hall on Pet Day, which is Wednesday 26^th October.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Please keep all items at home until Tuesday 25th October.

Kind Regards,

Cara Howie
