World Read Aloud Day. February 5th

The World Read Aloud Day encourages reading aloud and sharing stories.

The book we chose to read, 'Say Something by Peter H Reynolds was given to us by a past pupil.
A book that fits in with our school values - Excellence/Hiranga, Diversity/Rereketanga, Integrity/Ngakau, Community and Partnership/Porihanga and Caring for the Environment/Kaitiakitanga.


                                 

A great book to encourage students to share their thinking with words.

Games in the pool

Today we played a ball game in the pool. The aim was to play just like netball, where you have 3 seconds to pass and you can't move with the ball. To score you had to hit the cone down with the ball.

The kids had a great time.
