Cupcakes and Syndicate assembly

This term we are starting syndicate assemblies to come together as a group, share our learning and celebrate successes. In this photo we are celebrating all the people who has made it in to their sporting rep teams! Congrats to Nikita and Rebecca who are in the Hockey rep team.

Today we also were selling cupcakes to raise money for the SPCA. Here is Meg selling her amazing cupcakes.

Resilience

This little chick demonstrates amazing resilience just at the start of it's early life. What messages can we learn through this as we all learn to develop our own resilience?

End of term Movie reward

Preschool visit

Today we visited First Years Preschool today to celebrate the end of our learning about Matariki. This was postponed from last term, and we were excited to finally be able to go. It started with a waiata and then the students goal was to communicate effectively with young people to complete weaving a sea creature. Below are some photos from our visit.

Showcase

"Showquest is the new national music, dance and drama showcase for schools, organised by Rockquest Promotions, replacing Stage Challenge. 

Students chose to create performances around themes that were important to them, such as war, body image and ocean pollution." Read the whole stuff link here

Hannah was a major part of our showcase, as she choreographed the main "pollution" dance, as well as participating in the dance. Ella was also a turtle dancer, and unfortunately Nikita was injured and unable to dance on the night. Savanna was the lighting and music specialist. It was an amazing performance, and I was lucky to go along and watch, here are a few snips from there dance...
