Marama time at the Suter

Thank you to the parents who came along to the Suter and shared the wonderful time we had exploring the art work.

We had a great time with Esther, creating collages of the animals we would most like to be like.  Watch out for these on display in class very soon.

Medieval Fair by the Upper Middle Syndicate

We were treated to a step back into medieval times when we were invited to a majestic display by the Upper Middles.  

First we watched the students dancing as they would have done all those years ago.  Sir Timothy (Mr Cross),  Lady Pauline (Mrs Wallace) and Maid Evelyn (Mrs Muncaster) directed the proceedings very smoothly.

Then, we were treated to some puppet shows - what a talented bunch we have at St Joseph's.  

Wind Power = Energy

Room 1 enjoyed the first fun day Friday for the term with a Discovery Time all about "Wind Power".  We made kites, paper planes, wind chimes and experimented with straws and ping pong balls to see how fast we could go around a track.

Watch the fun we had with our kites outside on this beautiful, sunny day.

Library Day is MONDAYS

Hopefully you are looking forward to returning to school tomorrow.  Just a reminder that Monday is our Library day so if you have any outstanding library books, please pack them in your bag.

Room 1 support the St Joseph's School Gala

The holidays are a great chance to go through your unwanted toys, clothes and household goods and bring them along to school.  Please support our Gala and bring in your unwanted items.  You can bring them this week and during term time on Mondays between 2.30 and 3.30 pm, or on Fridays between 8.30 and 9.30 am, when the storage rooms will be open and "manned".  

Check out the photos of the students in the Octopus' Garden taking up some items we have already collected.

WIND POWER !!

We had fun discovering about wind on Friday and up-cycling the aluminum cans into glittering wind chimes.  

Come in and see the crazy art we produced blowing paint through a straw.

Making paper aeroplanes and kites was a popular activity too.

Welcome to the new fish in the Octopus' Garden

We are very excited to welcome 5 new students to Room 1 next term.  They have already visited us and will settle in perfectly to the Octopus Garden.  

We hope all our families have a safe, fun and restful holidays.  See you all next term!

Rap-unzel Performance

Lucky Mrs Trengrove! Room 1 enjoyed a performance by the New Zealand Playhouse Theatre in the last week of term.  Thank you to the PTA for covering the cost of this for the children.
