Mini Golf with our Buddy class

Last week Mrs Wallace came up with a fun idea for us to try with our buddy class. It was "Mini Golf"
Each person had two counters and had to flick them into 18 different holes around the room ( much like the old game of Tiddly Winks.)The challenge was that the person with the lowest score was the winner. It was so much fun!!!! Thanks Mrs Wallace, you're a STAR!

The Library Learning Hub

Each Thursday room 19 and 24 combine for Library. It is an exciting space with wonderful furniture and a range of engaging activities. Some recent additions are the Lego wall, Puppet Show and Drawing table. The Learning Hub is fun!

Huff n Puffathon

It was truly an amazing event with lovely weather, parents to watch and cheer, house chants to inspire the teams and at the end a free pump bottle and wrist band. Room 24 would like to thank the PTA  for organising such a wonderful event!

The Olympic Torch

Today we made Olympic torches with the help of Mrs Bushill. We learned that the colours - yellow, blue and green are the colours of Brazil. The wavy shapes represent the sky, the mountains, the sea,  and the ground.  The triangular shape is a reminder of the Olympic values - excellence, friendship and respect. The torch is about 63 cms tall and is made of recycled aluminium. Mrs Dijkstra thought it was very special that the torch held so much meaning.

Black Out, Two Can Day

Last Friday we dressed in black to support our Olympian Team. Also the school Councillors visited our room and asked us to bring along one or two cans of food to donate to the Auckland City Mission. They collected in 1,100 cans. Well done Room 24 for helping to achieve such an amazing result.

Day 2 Literacy Week

On Tuesday Mrs Divers read "Mrs Mud Mudpuddle" and we sequenced the story working with a buddy. Our wonderful Grandparents visited after morning tea.Then we completed some "Slinki Malinki" activities. In the afternoon we made our own jellybean hat after listening to "The Hat Sale" by Joy Cowley.
