A little bit of Christmas

Today the children from Room 1 & 2 visited the local church in Tokomaru along with our RE teachers. We listened as Room 1 told the story of Christmas and then we sang Away in a Manger. We were lucky to get a visit from a donkey who is part of the Christmas story.

Letters from Antarctica!

Today we received a letter each from Tai's dad in Antarctica. He did a great job of answering all of our questions along with some more photos. Have a look at our thank you video.

We made the Bugle!

The letters that we wrote to Tai's dad who is currently down in Antartica, have had a mention in   "The Bugle", a magazine that comes out for the Army families. Tai's dad has written an article about his time away and how the school blogs kept him updated about things happening at school. He has also included in the article a photo from the blog with all of us holding our letters ready to send.

What's Happening in Room 2


 Shampagne shared her lizard that she found outside over the weekend.
Tai shared with us a postcard he got from his Dad who is still down in Antarctica. We also heard from Mr Kereama that he has received our letters safe and sound. We can't wait to see what we get back!

Button Bracelets

Today we were lucky to have Miss Sinclair at Tokomaru School helping us to make our button bracelets for selling on Ag Day. It was a tricky process to thread the buttons but we had fun doing it and they look great!!
