Happy Birthday Gemma and Maia!

On Friday we had a double celebration with Gemma and Maia's 7th birthday. They were both very excited to share part of their day with us. Thanks to Dad for making the cake, Georgia-Mae for decorating it and Mum for bringing it down to share with the class.

The verdict was that the cake was DELICIOUS!!!!!

Shared Lunch

Thank you to those of you who contributed to our yummy shared lunch on Thursday. This was a lovely way to say good bye to Liam. I know he will be missed by his friends and me alike. We wish him well at his new home and hope we hear from him soon.

Grace's Ballet Award

Well done to Grace who has received a "Primary level In Class Award" at her ballet school. It was lovely to see the medal and certificate at school.

LEARNZ Fieldtrip

This week Room 4 and 5 are going on a virtual field trip to look at Rowi Kiwi on the West Coast. This means that we will be listening to audio conferences where experts will be asked questions by pupils from schools around New Zealand (Room 5 will be participating in a live audio conference on Wednesday at 9.15am).

We will also be getting video updates from our LEARNZ teacher - Andrew Penny (a parent and BOT rep from our school), and we will be following our LEARNZ Ashley School ambassader - ASH the sheep - as he gets up close and personal with the Rowi Kiwi Project on our behalf.

If you wish to check out the website and look at any of these things with your children at home you can by logging on to the website listed below and then using the username and password:

Thanks to Charlotte's Mum for making Ash a cool school uniform to wear on his trip. Here he is with Room 4 and Andrew before he left last week.
