Enviro jobs

On Friday the 29th of August we did enviro jobs around the school like filling the sand pit, repairing the willow hut, picking up rubbish, weeding the garden and filling in the hangi pit. It was our spring cleanup for the school. We had lots of fun doing are jobs and we wish we could do it again.

South Spell 2014

12 students from Room 12 were selected to go to the South Spell competition. We were spilt into 3 different groups of 4. There was 42 groups overall. The spelling test was divided into 10 different categories.  We were supplied with a Mitre 10 pen, some scrap paper so we didn't shout out the answer and a piece of paper to write the right answer on. Just about every parent that came offered their vehicle. We had a blast working together as a group. We were spilt apart when we got to the desks so we couldn't cheat (although we wouldn't!!). We were about a metre away from the next group of kids. The names of the people who got through to South Spell are: Lydia, Rosie, Thomas, Connor, Jessica, Esther, Tessa, Emmerson, Luke, Samantha, Lindsay, Jake. We think it's a great opportunity and everyone should try and aim to get through to South Spell.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped us.

Te Anau School Hangi

On the third of July Te Anau School had a hangi to celebrate the end of their Matariki topic. Over Term 2 we all did lots of art through out the classes. At the start of the term Room 12 was put in charge of digging the hangi. Over a few weeks we completed it. It was hard work. When the day came for our hangi it was cancelled but Redcliff restaurant kindly cooked our vegetables and Dale’s hangi team cooked the meat on BBQs. We also sang songs like at a traditional Matariki celebration.

We had some food once we sang our songs. Yum Yum. We had lots of different varieties of food like root vegetables and meat. We reckon the best one were the chops. Once we finished eating our parents looked through the classes. What a day. But it wouldn’t have been possible with out the parents, Dale’s team, the teachers, Redcliff, Kiwi Holiday Park for donating their place, Mr Rush and all the children.
