Teddy Bears Picnic

If you go down to the forest today be sure of a big surprise, for every bear that ever there was was there because today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.

We had picnic games, toy races, picnic food, a scavenger hunt, lollipops and special bear stories.

All the bears were so tired they had to have two daytime naps.

What a really great way to celebrate a wonderful hard working and fun year in Room 4 2010.

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

True colours

After the make up! The Room 4 Cowgirls ready for the hoe down. Excitement builds before the show.

We performed on stage for our families for three nights in a row. The lights were bright and we were nervous but everyone clapped and cheered. The audience loved our dancing.

True Colours

Yeeha! Room 4 Cowboys wait for the show to get on the road, guns at the ready.

Our whole school performed in our production called True Colours. The script was written by teachers at our school and all 277 children in our school danced and sang on stage. The story told how a singer was guided by Michael Jacksons' spirit, on a journey through a variety of musical genres, to find her own true musical style and become a star. Our class were singing and dancing in the country scene.

Japanese Students Visit Room 4

Today we had a surprise visit from a group of Japanese Students. One of them was a friend of Hikaru, who worked in our school during the first term this year.
The students taught us how to write words and our names using Japanese calligraphy. We used a brush and thin black paint to carefully copy marks onto white paper. The words looked like beautiful patterns.

Seagull Sculptures

Did you guess? Our seagull sculptures are now finished and in the garden outside our new Pohutukawa Centre building. The Seagulls are made of polycell foam and netting. They are attached to long poles and their wings flap gently in the breeze.

Skip-a-thon day

We had lots of fun today at our Skip-a-thon to celebrate the end of our Jump Rope programme.

Gymnastics fun

We romped and climbed our way round the gym and learned lots of new tricks.
