Last 3 Days of Term

The last 3 days of this term have been crazy but also a lot of fun. On Wednesday we shared some of our learning in the classroom, and then we had a concert to share our learning in Te Reo Kori. Room 3 welcomed everyone into the hall with a haka powhiri and then sung a waiata. This was followed by Room 10 with folk dancing, Room 15 with Poi, Room 16 with more waiata and Room 13 with rakau (stick games). The children performed wonderfully. Thanks to the family and friends who came along to watch.

On Thursday we finished off our Sports Education for the term with our fundraising Market Day. All teams have been working very hard over the last few weeks making posters, signs and products to sell at the market. We were originally only going to invite Room 15 to come to the market, but after counting up all of the items for sale on Thursday morning we ended up being able to invite 4 other classes! The market was a great success with nearly all products selling out. The teams all made over $100 (of pretend money). The Chipmunks topped off their very sucessfull term by raising $158. Well done to all the teams and thank you to all the parents for the yummy baking donations.

 

We finished the term on Friday with a trip to Clip n Climb. Everyone (Miss A included) had a great time climbing the different walls and overcoming fears of falling and heights. Thank you to the parents who drove us there. Once again, your help was very much appreciated. Here are some pics from the trip.

Finally on Friday afternoon we had a popcorn party and said goodbye to Oliver. Oliver and his family are off to Wellington for a year. We have loved having Oliver in Room 16 this year and we are really going to miss him next term. We wish him and his family the best of luck for their time in Wellington and we hope they will be back at St Albans School in the future.
