Term 2

Week 1 of term 2 and what a week it has been! We have had a lot of great opportunities, including being a part of a performance and having hockey coaching. We have also started our 'Kia Kaha' programme.
Here are a few photos and videos from our first week back.

We all got a drum to play!

We really enjoyed the performance

Warm Up - Octopus

Practicing our dribbling skills...

Painting with watercolours

We have been recreating some images from camp. Our task was to choose one day from camp and create two images from that day. We used pencil first, then watercolour paint. We will be adding more detail next week using pencil and sharpie marks. We are looking forward to showing them off next week at assembly.

Camp day 4!

Our last day at camp. We were a bit sad to leave! On the way home we stopped at Nugget Point and walked out to the lighthouse then carried onto Kaka Point for lunch. A quick stop at Balclutha at the park and then back to school.  We would all like to say a big thank you to all the wonderful parents who helped us at camp - we really appreciate your time and effort. Thank you too to Mr Marshall for spending the week with us.
CAMP WAS AWESOME!!!

Camp day 3

Another busy but amazing day today!  We had activities day and we had a great time going around the 3 rotations - kayaking,  fishing and orienteering. We were lucky with the fishing - 13 fish in total! Some very nice locals gave us some great tips! Mrs Jackson was so proud of everyone today, especially those that found themselves trying something new. Taking on new challenges saw many of room 7 finding a new activity that they really enjoyed doing and were pretty good at too! We ended our day with a stroll down Surat Bay. We saw 1 large sea lion and enjoyed creating camp themed artworks in the sand.

Day 2 Pounawea!

We have had a very busy day! A nature walk, a trip to the museum, a walk up to see Jacks blowhole and some time at the rocky shore. We are pretty hardy souls and carried on through the rain at the shore. We saw heaps of crabs and it was all very exciting!  Roll on day 3!
