Production photos!

As promised, here are the photos of the Thursday shows. Enjoy!

Production Time!

Dress Rehearsal today was a huge step up for the kids, can't wait to see how the 'real' shows go! Photos to follow (costumes are amazing!)...

Could be worse...

We think that we have had some horrible, cold weather lately, but it is nothing compared to what has been happening down south. These photos were taken yesterday by my parents, at their place in Lumsden. Brrr!!!

Production!

"C.A.B we love 'em. B.A G we love 'em. C.A.B.B.A.G.E.S! Cabbages!" Parents, if you haven't been hearing this sung at home yet, I will be incredibly surprised! We are full swing into our production practices, and the diamond that is 'The Cabbage Patch Dragon' is definitely sounding more polished by the day. We are looking more and more like a fine troupe of actors with every scene, and we are consistently making Glee look like a second-rate bunch of hacks (in my opinion though, this isn't to hard to do...). Tickets for this extraveganza are on sale at the office, any day now. We look forward to seeing you, and all your friends, there!

Junior Cross Country

Finally! After many false starts and wetness, we finally had a run of sunny days long enough to be able to run our Junior Cross Country. There was a tremendous amount of excitement in the air as the kids waited their turn. As you will see, there was a sea of smiles, as the children ran their little legs off, and their hearts out. It was especially terrific to see our pre-schoolers have a go, (and then ask if they could do it again!)and also a few brave parents (who didn't ask to do it again...)! Anyway, enjoy the photos...

I would also like to welcome Izzy to our class. She has joined us in the last week or 2, and has instantly settled. Her younger sister Phoebe is in Room 2. This, in some way offsets the loss of Angelica, who, along with her sister Chloe, is off to Brightwater School. We will miss having Angelica's bright cheery smile in Room 3, and wish her and her family all the best.

Term 3

Term 3 is well under way and looks to be one of the busiest terms ever! Production practises (of The Cabbage Patch Dragon) are going strong, and the show is looking like it will be terrific! I know that the kids are learning their songs, as I am hearing them again and again... and again... I would also like to welcome Brooke to our class. She (and her Brother Aiden) has joined us from North Canterbury, and is settling into the class routines well. We are also fortunate to have Miss Kirsty Dear working with us until week 5. She is on her last school placement before graduating from the Christchurch College of Education. All in all, there is a lot going on in Room 3- come in and check it out!

Billy Carts

Last week we had the pleasure of Watching Room 7 and 8 race their Billy Carts down the hill. With only a few crashes, but heaps of smiles and laughter, it was a terrific way to spend an hour. Here are a selection of photos. Thanks to Kim Lammers for being my photographer.
