Week 7

The arts have been a major focus this week, with groups creating and
practising their music pieces, dances and dramas to promote New Zealand. All
parents and extended family members are invited to view these performances
in the hall on Friday 30 November 1:30-3pm with an afternoon tea to follow.
It would be wonderful to see you all there!

Week 6

Week 6 was an exciting and busy week for Team B. Many of our talented students were involved in the school production of "Henry". It was shown Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights and was very successful. Well done to all those students from Team B who were involved!

Here are a few photos from the show:

Around the Throne The Angry Queens












As well as being busy with the production, we all managed to move back into our sparkling, clean new classrooms. This was exciting and it is great to be back together as a team!

Week 5 in Team B

We have now completed a third week in our temporary classrooms and it is one more week to go before we move back into our old home. The painting is completed, the carpets are down and they are just finishing off the final touches. It is looking beauuuutiful!!!!!

This week, students continued with their presentations of Kete's- which have been amazing. They have also done some great collage work on New Zealand icons and Kiwiana.



We have some budding authors and the pourquois on New Zealand are a great read.
Keep a look out for these as podcasts. You will be able to download them from itunes, as a weekly series of stories, which you can listen to.
