Our last day in Room 24!

Last Friday was our last day together in Room 24. It was sad to say goodbye to my amazing class of incredible students. I have been fortunate to teach you all and have the fun together that we have had. You have achieved great things this year and I know you will continue to do so. Have a wonderful Christmas with your families and be safe over the holidays. Much aroha, Mrs E :)

Christmas Craft - Sewing

Today we did some sewing and made a Christmas treat for someone in our family. For many of us it was the first time we had done any hand sewing and we all managed to complete it. Have a look at the pictures below.

Print Making...Fun, fun, fun!

Ronan at the Canterbury Cross Country

I got to school all pumped up ready to go to the Canterbury Cross Country Competition. When I got to class, I told everyone I was going. Mrs Ellis gave me good luck and I needed it. When I got there we lined up in our Zones (West, East, South etc). And then BANG! The battle had started. I was trying to catch up with people especially Taylor. We had to run 2km's non stop. There were hills and creeks to run around. When I finished, I came 42nd out of 119 people. I was very proud of myself!

What is coming up in Room 24?

The scooter race is on Friday of week seven for anyone who wants to participate.Wear a helmet and bring a lock for during the day. This event is held on the tennis courts with Mr Mabin. Hope to see you all out there having fun and stepping up!

The lock on the girls Rm 24-23 toilet is getting fixed by Chris. The wheelie bin for the field isn’t being put out anymore.

We would like to make a huge acknowledgement to Lisa Francis for teaching New Zealand sign language to some students. Well done to those people who participated and were committed-a great way to see students stepping up and reaching out!

We are having another mufti day but are still deciding whether to have it themed or not.

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you stepping up and achieving your personal best.
