Sonia Delaunay Calendar Art

We have been using the art of Sonia Delaunay as inspiration for our calendars this year.  We've used lots of shapes especially circles and contrasting colours to create some awesome original artworks of our own. Check them out! Next term order forms will be coming home for calendars, cards and diaries.

Lung Capacity Experiment

 Mr Higginson brought a great experiement to school where we could test our lung capacity. It was lots of fun to see how hard we could blow on the tube and how large our lung capacity was.
We are learning about fitness and how our bodies work as part of our term 2 inquiry.

Graduation 2012

I have had a special week this week graduating with a post graduate diploma from Massey Universtiy. Over the last few years it has involved a lot of hard work and late nights studying. It was great to pop in and visit Wonderous One and share my special day with them. I hope they all remember if you want something set a goal, work hard and anything is possible.

Camp ElRancho 2012

We have just been to camp at El Rancho. What an amazing three days we had. The beach, activities and movie night on Wednesday.  Instructed activities on Thursday. These included the flying fox, archery, rifles, go carts and horse riding. In the evening we enjoyed watching or participating in Camps Got Talent. Friday was the big clean up, free activities and then a swim at the Lido on the way home. Lots of tired bodies got off the bus on Friday afternoon. I had a fabulous time with your lovely children. It was great to see them achieving in a different environment. Some of them really surprised me with what they could achieve. It was great to see. Thank you for allowing me to have this special time with your children.
An extra special thank you to the parents who gave up their time and came with us as camp parents. We can't do it without you.
