AG Day

Room 3 students were keen contributors and competitors to the Ag Day challenges of training and nurturing a calf or lamb. These pictures capture some of the line up of winners in the calf section. Well done everyone.

It's X- Country time again!!!!!!

After weeks of training it was time for us to test ourselves against the hill and paddock. The runners were fired up and as keen as mustard. Everyone rallied around , even the weather as it hadn't been too promising but Mrs Clark worked her magic once again. The sausage sizzle lent us a hand with the promise of food wafting in the air we did our best to be home first to try them.

Making Scarves

As part of our inquiry into "Linking Hands, Linking Lives" we have been making scarves to send to children in orphanages in Romania. We needed to learn lots of new skills to achieve this including learning to put  our ability with measuring to use,pattern making, designing and using overlockers.
We borrowed children from Room1 and Room 5 to ensure a good fit for everyone. NZ Post shop in Putaruru has offered to help us send our items to America where a christian agency will take them to Romania in time for Christmas. Thank you all for helping us to help others.

Supporting the mighty ALL BLACKS

The day was clear and bright as we gathered on the grassy field, with the rest of the school, in the heart of the mighty Waikato to support the ALL BLACKS for the opening game of the World Cup.  The crowd roared, the earth shook, sweat poured down faces and we raised the roof for them.GO TEAM !! The heartbeat of the school is with you!!

Waiomou Stream Planting Term 2

The long awaited digital storyboard that has been evasive at being loaded to the blog!!! Always relentless with ICT challenges I have figured out a way to get it up on the blog!!! Success at last and boy doesn't taste great. This had the ICT facilitator stumped too but with a little bit of moving between programmes and files it is here.

Topic Term 3

Room 3 has identifed how we can make our school a " Better Place". First we removed rubbish from along the stream bank, built up the existing gardens and are planning to create a new look garden area for the school along the eastern boundary. The children have been busy investigating the plants that would best suit the area given, what we use the area for and keeping in mind the sustainability of the project for the school. The needs and ease of management for the caretaker also needed to be thought through.Plans have been made and when these are finalised they will be presented to the board by our Enviro Group members for Room 3 Well done team!!
