We were very lucky with the weather to be able to have our swimming carnival last week. TKW and TKP showed off their swimming skills to their parents and whanau. Thank you for coming to share our special day with us.
Ruma Toru and Wha have been reading the Mud Walk big book by Joy Cowley. We decided to go on a mud walk of our own on the last day of term. Unfortunately the Palmerston North weather let us down. We hadn't had any rain for a while - very unusual!! So we decided to go on a bear hunt instead! We went down to the forrest to see what we could see. We had so much fun, exploring, wondering and observing. What a great activity to do on the last day of term.
Unfortunately our DP, Mr Pouniu is not very well at the moment, so our school decided to show Awhi to both him and his whanau by having a bow day. Mr Pouniu loved wearing bow ties to school everyday so we thought that this would be a great way to both raise money and support the Pouniu family. We raised $2551.70. A fantastic effort, thank you! Miss Stella was very clever and made a video clip for Mr Pouniu from photos and videos taken from our Bow parade. The song 'Shake it Off' is a favourite of Mr Pouniu's. He taught us some actions to the song last year and our Jump Jam crew learnt a new dance to this song too. Click on this link to watch the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=piNQcw2Wf_A
We were very lucky that the rain moved on and that we were able to participate in the Hokowhitu Games for the last day of Term 1. We wore our school house colours with pride and were able to compete in some fun games such as chuck the chicken, bucket tipping and flag races. What a fun way to end the term!
