Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I have loved teaching all the children in Room 3 this year, you are all awesome kids, thanks for making it so easy for me to get up and come to work each day.  Thanks to all the parents and families for such a great year and all your support.  I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Restful holidays.  

Please feel free to pop in and say Hi in 2013!

Summer Reading Book Swap

What a fantastic turn out for our Great Redwood School Summer Reading Book Swap.  It was so much fun to go shopping for a new "preloved" book to have to read over the summer.  The excitement was high and the children were all thrilled with their new books.

If you go down to the woods today...

you better go in disguise....

We had lots of lovely Teddy Bears and friends at school for our Teddy Bears picnic.  We wrote great stories about our Teddy Bears, we made bear ears and tags for our bears, read teddy stories and enjoyed a lovely teddy bears picnic for lunch.

...and the fun continues!

We are finishing up one of our great weeks filled with Education Outside the Classroom activities.   Today we had the parachute out with Room 4 and played all sorts of fun games.

Lets go fly a kite...

We did an awesome job at following instructions today while we were learning how to make a kite.

Thanks to Alison who came and lead the way.

It was really pretty easy and if you want to make more at home follow the link below for instructions.

Alison said her favourite part of the day was seeing all the smiley faces as the children flew their kites!

This is where we got the instructions from

Pizza in Pyjamas!

It's a tough job but someone's gotta do it!!!

What a fun day we are having...

Fabulous Friday!

We had a fab day on Friday in Room 3.  At our whole school assembly Benjamin was awarded a helmet as a prize for being the highest sponsored kid in Kowhai at the duathlon.  Congratulations Benjamin and thanks Pack & Pedal Porirua for supporting our school.

We had a wonderful shared lunch, thanks to all the parents for sending such yummy food for lunch.

These lovely treats certainly got us feeling festive!  Thanks to Daniella's clever Mum.

We finished up the afternoon with some party games, it was a fun way to spend the afternoon and a lovely reward for the childrens' good behaviour.
