The term marches on

We have had our second visit to Holmdene now, which went very well, and our final visit will take place this weekend.
On Monday this week we had a wonderful drama lesson from the drama expert Evelyn Mann.

We learned a lot of different drama conventions, and it was fascinating to explore the bus crash story "Who's to Blame", through drama.

Congratulations to those who participated at the South Otago Rippa tournament on Tuesday, and to the year 5 and 6 team who won! 

Week 2 Term 2

Week two was a busy and very successful one, with many interesting happenings, including our year 5 & 6 RIPPA tournament on Tuesday, and our trip to Holmdene on Friday.
The motto of RIPPA is "Touch For All" which certainly was the case on Tuesday when everyone could have a go and everyone enjoyed themselves.

I was so proud of our students on Friday. They sang beautifully and with enthusiasm at Holmdene, then they pushed themselves out of their comfort zones to chat and share poems and stories with the residents.

Next week we continue with our National Testing - PAT Maths and Vocab - and we have photos on Monday. Another great week awaits!
