The children in Te Rōpū Kura Pounamu and Te Rōpū Wawata have been working so hard with their reading and writing work. They are focused and ready to learn. Check out some of the awesome work of some of the fantastic students below.

 Last week on Tuesday we were lucky enough to visit the Olympia Gym. It was a great experience and we got to learn skills on the floor, the trampoline, high bars and on the beam too. All the fantastic students tried so hard even though some of the skills were quite tricky and a bit scary too! Thanks to Mr Boyd for booking this experience for us and to the helpers that came along to support us!

 Last week we were lucky enough to have Harold and Lauren come to visit us. We had two fantastic sessions, having Harold visit is always a highlight of the year! In our first lesson we learnt about how we can have a growth mindset and that we can use the power of yet, I can't do this yet. If we develop a growth mindset this will help us to keep going even when things get tough. Then in our second lesson we worked on thinking about what makes a good friend. What can we do to make sure that we are good friends? Afterwards we also had a dance party with Harold, what a fun few days. We can't wait to see Harold again!                       

Kobe made a diorama to help him memorise his mihimihi. It looks like you had lots of fun making your diorama Kobe.

  Kobe has been busy today again. You might have to come back to school for a holiday Kobe!

 Caelin has been very adventurous in his bubble. He has made a a volcano, gone for an explore on a big hike in the hills. Check it out below. First Caelin and Alyxis had to create their volcano. Look at how they worked together to get creative with the things they had at home! You can also check out a video below of the explosion.                                  Here is their big hike in the hills. They had a great view of Lyttelton when they got up so high! They saw mummy sheep with their lamb babies, explored volcanic rock, and checked out the army bunkers. What a fun time they had!       

  Check out Mikayla's home learning here. She has been working hard on her learning as well as having fun baking delicious looking cookies and doing awesome colouring. Well done, Mikayla. So nice to see your work. The cookies look so yummy with the chocolate swirl on the top. Did Cayden make the cookies with you? You did a really great job of colouring in so neatly. I wonder if you were using a special pen.
