Two more successful people from the Roxburgh Show

Keiran won a gingerbread man plate for his yummy chocolate muffins. Jessamy won lots of ribbons for her riding. She came third with her hedgehog in the Pet Parade, second for the sock puppet she made and first for her mask. Well done you two!

Swimming Lessons

Last week we had lots of fun at swimming lessons. We had a swimming teacher come down from Queenstown and Ellyce and Shontel helped too! We learnt lots like how to do breaststroke kick, how to dive - even a peanut roll off the edge! We learnt that swimming in clothes is very difficult! All of us could swim 2 lengths of the pool with our life jackets. All the children in Room 5 are very brave and tough because the weather was freezing but no one complained. Mrs Darling and Mrs Robb were very proud of you all!

A successful day at the Roxburgh A and P Show

Sarah, Willow and Myah showed us their winnings from the A and P Show at the weekend. They competed in horse riding, the Pet Parade and the Radishes!
In the fancy dress horse rider class Sarah dressed as an angel, Willow was an Indian and Jessamy was a toy in a toy box!
Lots of people in our class went to the Show and had an awesome day!

First day at school 2013

Our 2013 year in Room 5 has just begun. This year we have only 19 Year 3 and 4 children. We like it because there is more room and it is not so squishy! This week we are looking forward to the triathlon on Friday and Harold the Giraffe visiting us on Wednesday and Friday! We are also going to be going swimming every day as it is going to be very hot! We love school - it is great to be back and see all our friends again!

Kapa Haka

12 of our students are away to the Kapa Haka festival in Invercargill today. They gave us a sneak peak of their performance yesterday. It was amazing! The Kapa Haka group has been fundraising for their new uniforms and they all look fantastic. We hope they all have a terrific day today. We are so proud of them!

James Hargest Band

We were very lucky to have the James Hargest Band from Invercargill  perform for us on Wednesday the 8th August. They were amazing! They played lots of different instruments like flutes, trombones, clarinets, drums and xylophone. They played a medley of songs from the Lion King movie as well as The Lord of the Rings. Sometimes the music started really softly and got louder and louder but in other songs we all got such a fright when the big drum was suddenly boomed. It was a great concert. Thank you for visiting us.
