Cross Country

Well, the 2011 cross country has come and gone, and the Room 3 children shone, with their effort and enthusiasm showing on their faces. Here are a few photos of them (and others) to prove my point.

Term 2 underway.

Well, the second term has begun and this one looks to be as busy as term 1. It is another 11 week term, and it is already filling up with things such as visits from Bunnies with degrees, cross country runs and clubs!
Also, we welcome to our class Jack Fowler, a new student who has joined us from Blenheim.
I hope to bring you photos soon of the cross country!

BYE GEORGIA!!

At the end of term one we said farewell to Georgia, as she and her family (Andrea, Marcus and Tyler) headed up north to Taranaki. We will miss having Georgia in Room 3- her warm smile and caring personality will be greatly missed. Good luck at your new school!

Week 11 already!!

Well, it seems a long time since the last entry, and many things have been and gone in that time, but before we sign off on Term 1 there are a few photos we would like to share. These are some snaps of the dioramas the kids did for homework, based on our topic of Habitats. They looked fantastic, I'm sure you will agree... Apologies to Steph for not getting a photo of her diorama before it went home again.

Pirates ahoy!!

Here are some photos from our visitor, Captain Blunderbus, and our following trip to Rabbit Island.

A good looking bunch...?

and thoughtful too.

2011- The year we get our cup back!

Well, it is a new year, with a new crop of students (mostly new, there's a few leftovers from last year!) and a new teacher in Room 3.
2011 promises to be a fun, exciting and busy year for us here at Lower Moutere School, and already the class has shown some terrific work habits and initiative. We are well into our swimming programme, and as long as it stays warm we will keep swimming for a few more weeks.
The class routines are becoming more defined by the day, and the children should be starting to bring things home in their zippits (homework book, reading book, poetry book, notices).
On Monday we have our Meet the Teacher evening, from 5pm. This is a very informal way for families to come in and see the school, and the classrooms. Oh, and to have a sausage in bread too!
Feel free to pop in and visit us throughout the year, we enjoy the odd visitor!

P.S. Go the All Blacks!

Room 3 were very lucky today!

Room 3 were very lucky today. We had three of the Mako's players come to our school and spend the afternoon with us. We had Tom Marshall, Jonathan Poff and Steve Alfeld and man was it fun! They warmed us up with a run and then 10 star jumps. We then got into two groups and had passes with the boys. Then we got our ripper rugby belts on and went and had a game of bullrush (ripper rugby style). It was great being alongside Mako's boys. Unfortunately we ran out of time and the dreaded bell stopped our fun. We could have spent the whole day hanging out with them. We did get a treat though we got to get our books, t-shirts and our rugby balls signed. They also gave us cool posters of the Makos, the All Blacks and a ticket for our whole class to go watch their game on Friday night. They rock!

Thank you for coming to spend time in Room 3 Tom, Jonathan and Steve. Room 3 loved it!


Thank you Mako's for coming we had a lot of fun. Harrison

I really enjoyed playing bullrush especially when you were the taggers. Kim

I liked when they signed our posters and our class rugby ball. Sam

I liked playing bullrush and ripping off the tags. Georgia

The makos gave us free tickets to go to the game in Nelson. My family is looking forward to going to the game. Go the Makos! Maia A

Book Character Parade

Today was book character dress up day.

It was a lot of fun dressing up as characters from your favourite books.

Unfortunately Miss T's camera didn't have her memory stick in it. So thank you to Jodie Limmer for supplying these photos.

Finally the Cross Country

After numerous postponment dates the cross country finally arrived and Miss T got to wear her gumboots.

I am very proud of all my children who gave the cross country a go!

Here are some pics:
