Jack and the bean stalk


We had a great time at Jack the bean stalk.  It was very funny and we loved the singing and dancing.

What makes a positive leader?


Today we discussed what makes a good leader.  Today Connie wrote a great piece of writing about being a good leader.  Well done Connie, fantastic effort.

Double number practise


Get into groups of three.  One person is the caller and says the maths problems.  The other two try and beat the other by saying the answer the quickest.  Lots of fun.  You can play this at home.

It will be amazing!!!

Jack Flash and the Jumping Beanstalk On the afternoon of Tuesday, 18 August, after cross country, Our school has been booked in to see the New Zealand Playhouse production of Jack Flash and the Jumping Beanstalk. This is an excellent show and we have been lucky enough to be entertained by Playhouse in the past. It also provides a really engaging learning opportunity for our children so attendance is critical. We do not want any students to miss out on a shared learning experience with their classmates. To pay for this show, please send $4.50 to your child's teacher as soon as possible in a sealed envelope with the student's name and room number.
