I feel amazed with what we have achieved so far.

by Ben

I liked the part where we had to use a tool to remove green stuff off the pole and we had to wear a mask and earmuffs.

by Ronin

I like what we have done so far and I'm proud of how we have all worked together.

by Luke

I enjoyed making the bird house to put on the top of the totem pole.

Sharing Our Dances

Here are the videos from our sharing session earlier today.

The students did a fantastic job on all of the dances considering they have only had four 40 minute sessions!

Well done everyone!

It was fun and the Hip Hop dance was my favourite because it was fast paced.

That's A Wrap!

We are looking at ways to reduce waste in the school so earlier this week Kereru Class made their own beeswax lunch wraps and the students are actually using them which is fantastic to see.

Special thanks to Isla, Sean, Holly and the wonderful Elizabeth!

Here are the wraps we made.

Yes we are using them!

I thought it was a really cool process but I didn't like the bees chasing me. 

The wraps look really cool though.

By Bella

Making them was fun because we ran around with them to try and dry them.

By Holly.O

I really enjoyed making them and my mum is using my wrap for a picnic.

By Missy

They are really useful because we don't have to get plastic bags out in the morning.

By Alice

Shake Your Groove Thing!

Here are a couple of videos and photos from our dance sessions. It's great fun! 

Student comments will be posted soon.......

Alice achieved a 6th overall in the Level 2 competition and a 1st place in the Level 2 Rope section. WOW!

Super effort Alice!

Bird Feeders

Thank you to the students who made bird feeders for our school last week. They are hanging up in the trees and the birds have already eaten most of the seeds and the peanut butter off the pine cones!
