June Birthdays...

A big happy birthday to Farrah and Gus.  Gus had his birthday back in April but as he is new to our class we presented him with his certificate belatedly.

Award Winners W8

Well done to all our award winners this week!

Balloon Hovercrafts!

On Thursday 21st June, Sophie's Mum came in and helped us make our balloon hover crafts.  Today we went and tested them in the hall.  It was a lot of fun!

Matariki Celebrations

On Sunday we celebrated the start of Matariki by holding a Powhiri and general get together.  I was extremely impressed with the Kapa Haka Group that performed.  Tumeke!

Certificates!

Here are all the award winners for the last two weeks.

40 Hour Famine

Congratulations to Sophie Russ who completed the 40 hour famine in the weekend.  Sophie brought her book along to school with $19 that she had raised.  Unfortunately it was taken out of her desk on the afternoon of the Cross Country.  This is a great concern and I would warn all children not to bring money or expensive items to school.  If you do need to bring money it is best to hand it in to me to look after for you. 
Well done though Sophie for completing the famine.  It must have been a  hard nights sleep!  (Sophie chose to go without furniture for the weekend).

Certificates

Sorry I have missed the last couple of weeks blogging but I am trying to catch up.  If you received a certificate but did not get on the class blog please bring it along this week so I can catch you up.

Josie was star of the week in Week 5.  Awesome work Josie!

Jack received the HEART award for supporting others in Room 12.  You are a kind friend Jack!

Interesting Reading

Liam brought his new book that he got from the book club along to share with the class.  Thanks Liam!
