Hello Kereru Kids 2017!

                              Welcome back to school for another action packed year!
                              Our first day back at school is Wednesday 1st February.
                            I hope you have all had a wonderful relaxing holiday 🌞
I spent five weeks in America and travelled to lots of different cities in the Southern States. We ate lots of yummy food and had a lot of fun times! A highlight was going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Florida! We explored Hogsmeade, drank Butter beer (it's not real beer🍺) and ate lunch at The Three Broomsticks. We then boarded the Hogwarts Express to Diagon Alley. It took us two days to see all of Universal Studios! What an amazing place to visit! 
           I've posted a link for you to explore and also posted a few of my trip photos below.
                                                     See y'all next week!

End of Year Concert: Kereru Dance

Here is the video of Kereru Kids performing at the the end of year concert. 

The students performed amazingly well. I was super proud of them all 😉

Kristkindle Good Deeds

This year for Kristkindle we are doing something slightly different than in previous years. Each class in the school will discuss and complete kind, helpful acts throughout the school day. 
Today Kereru went on a rubbish hunt outside of the school gate all the way to Salisbury Rd.

                      

FOSP Fun Friday!

Last Friday the Friends of Saint Pauls organised  a fun day.

We had nail painting, crazy hair, a water slide, bouncy castles, outdoor activities, flossy the ballon lady and a wheels track.

If we were living the St Pauls way for 2 or 3 weeks by being nice to others and and doing good deeds for others, you got to go on the water slide as a reward.

Our Elf, Sprinkle Belle!

Our Elf Sprinkle Belle

Last week on Wednesday we got a elf on the shelf.  She was already in the class on a shelf. There was also a box that said 'Special Santa' and inside it had a adoption certificate and a letter from Santa. we named her Sprinkle Belle. She has had many adventures in our class room like having a sleep in a tissues box or when she got into the sticker box and covered her self with the stickers! She had a bath in a ball of wool and cotton wool and climbed onto one of our Christmas wreaths.
This morning we found her playing bingo with kiwi and snowman.

End of Year Concert

Reminder that you will need some 'Biblical' style clothing for the end of year concert. You can shop around at the St Vincent de Paul store or Red Cross and find something appropriate. A large piece of cheap material will also be good (just cut a hole in the centre for your head to go through!) You may wear a head scarf but it's not necessary.
Please stick with neutral colours such as browns, beige, blue, white etc
Here are some ideas
