Learning About Our Past

We had so much fun today talking about the past and the present. This is important learning for our topic this term. Please encourage our tamariki to talk to you about how things worked in the past versus how they work now.

Champion Swimmers!

What a great day to go to the pools for swimming lessons! Room 1 were fantastic - they listened to their instructors and it was clear everyone really enjoyed themselves (while learning of course!) Here are just a few photos from today but keep an eye out - I'll be posting more as we go along.

Swimming season is here!

Kia Ora parents and caregivers,

On Monday we will be heading down to the Cannon's Creek pools for swimming lessons.  Please ensure that your child has a named plastic bag with togs and a towel.  Also, I am still waiting on a few permission slips - it would be great if you could send those to school tomorrow.

Any questions, please ask.

Regards,
Ms. V

Ms. Holland Came To Visit Room 1

This week we were so lucky to have Ms. Holland come to room 1 to share some stories with us. She even took us on a Bear Hunt and we got such a fright at the end of the story when we found the bear. We hope Ms. Holland will come to visit us again soon.

Fun In The Sun!

The sun decided to pay Rangikura School a visit today so we just had to get outside for a play. We had a great time playing 'Duck Duck Goose'. For some of us this was a new game to learn and it was great to see everyone working together and helping each other. We hope the sun comes back tomorrow. Please feel free to leave us a comment - we love reading them.

Whanau picnic at the Waikanae Pools!

We have been hoping for sunny weather for our trip to the pools - and we sure got it! It was a fun-filled day and it was such a treat to see so many whanau attend the picnic.  The hydro-slide was a firm favourite and it was clear that all the kids absolutely loved going down it and landing in the pool.  We were sad to leave but we'll treasure the memories we made.
